Rhodium Purim Bread
4. Folares—Rhodian Purim Bread
Similar to the better known Moroccan Ojos de Haman, Jews from Rhodes have their own version of Purim bread with hard boiled eggs inside. Folares represent Haman (the egg) trapped in a cage (the bread). The egg is traditionally dyed blue by adding dye to the water while boiling the eggs. Other versions use flakey pastry—like puff pastry—for these, sometimes with cheese in the dough
