Steps
Garlic Pickled Eggs Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 dozen large eggs
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 1/4 cup garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp black peppercorns
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions:
Step 1: Hard Boil the Eggs
Fill a pot with enough water to cover the eggs and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, remove the pot from the heat and let it sit for about 12 minutes. After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs back into ice water and let them cool down completely.
Step 2: Prepare the Garlic Pickling Solution
While the eggs are cooling down, prepare a garlic pickling solution by combining white vinegar, minced garlic cloves, sugar, sea salt, black peppercorns, and red pepper flakes in a small pot. Bring the solution to a boil over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved completely.
Step 3: Add the Eggs to the Garlic Pickling Solution
Once the eggs are cool enough to handle, gently tap them on a hard surface to crack the shell and let out any air inside. Place the eggs into the garlic pickling solution, making sure they are fully submerged.
Step 4: Cover and Seal the Jar
Cover the jar with a tight-fitting lid and seal it using a rubber band or twine to ensure that no air can escape. Let the jars sit in the garlic pickling solution for at least 7 days, shaking them occasionally to mix up the eggs.
Step 5: Enjoy Your Garlic Pickled Eggs!
After 7 days, transfer the garlic pickled eggs to a jar with a tight-fitting lid and let them sit in the fridge. They will last for up to two months. When you're ready to enjoy them, simply give them a gentle shake and pop open the shell to reveal a hard-boiled egg with a spicy twist!
Tips:
- If you don't like spicy food, you can reduce or eliminate the red pepper flakes.
- You can also adjust the amount of garlic cloves to taste.
- For a unique twist, try adding some sliced jalapeno peppers to the garlic pickling solution.
