Step 5
Pour the prepared sauce over them and let them cool. It is very important that the eggs are completely covered by it; otherwise, white spots will remain. After they have cooled, place them in the refrigerator right in the container with the sauce for 2–3 days. You can leave them for a week or even a month. The longer the dish stays in the marinade, the richer the flavor will become.
