I just did a quick search, and aside from the occasional "deviled egg" 
recipe, this is the closest thing I could find.

TANSY EGGS. Grind a little ginger and some tansy, and moisten with 
vinegar, strain and put in a dish of whole, peeled hard-cooked eggs.

	Forme of Cury
	Das Kuchbuch der Sabina Welserin
	Liber cure cocorum
	Libro di cucina / Libro per cuoco
	Le Menagier de Paris (Janet Hinson, trans.)
	A NEVV BOOKE of Cookerie
	A Proper newe Booke of Cokerye
	Two Fifteenth-Century Cookery-Books
	Le Viandier de Taillevent
	Wel ende edelike spijse
