Pickled Egg Recipe

Pickled Egg Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Hard-boiled Eggs

   Start by hard-boiling the eggs. Place the eggs in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 9-12 minutes. After cooking, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool.

2. 2

   Make the Pickling Liquid

   In a saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, salt, sugar, garlic cloves, black peppercorns, mustard seeds, red chili flakes, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the salt and sugar are dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool.

3. 3

   Pickle the Eggs

   Once the hard-boiled eggs have cooled, peel them and place them in a clean glass jar. Pour the cooled pickling liquid over the eggs, ensuring they are fully submerged. Seal the jar tightly.

4. 4

   Refrigerate

   Refrigerate the jar for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to develop, although a few days is ideal for richer flavor.

5. 5

   Serve

   Enjoy the pickled eggs as a snack, appetizer, or as a unique addition to salads and sandwiches.
