Instructions

  • Bring the water, vinegar, onion, spices, and salt to a gentle boil for 5 minutes. Then remove from heat and cool slightly.
  • Add the hard-boiled eggs to a clean glass jar. Pour liquid over the eggs, cover completely and seal the jar.
  • Transfer to the refrigerator and leave to sit for at least 2 days until ready to eat. If you can, waiting 1 week is best.
  • Store in the fridge. Serve whole or sliced on salad, meat, or by themselves.

Notes

  • Play around with different spices and seasonings to match your taste. Add dill, mustard seeds, a bit of sugar or honey for sweetness, or a few slices of fresh chili peppers or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick. 
  • Salt helps preserve the eggs and brings out the flavors in the brine. Be generous with it, but don’t overwhelm the recipe.
  • Leave some space between the eggs in the jar. This allows the brine to fully penetrate each egg, making sure that every bite is flavorful.
  • Make sure that the jar is always sealed tightly to keep air out. 
  • Every couple of days, gently shake the jar or turn it upside down to ensure the brine covers the eggs completely and the flavors are evenly distributed. 
  • If you have leftover brine, you can reuse it to pickle more eggs or other vegetables like cucumbers or carrots for an extra flavorful treat!
Serve: Serve pickled eggs as an appetizer or snack with your favorite cheese and crackers for a fun and flavorful charcuterie board addition. Add them to salads and sandwiches. Enjoy them with a cold beer for a classic snack pairing!
Store: Pickled eggs should always be stored in the refrigerator in a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid. To be safe, it’s best to consume pickled eggs within 3 to 4 weeks.
