Best Perfect Pickled Eggs Recipes

PERFECT PICKLED EGGS

Steps:

• Using an egg piercing tool or a needle, poke a hole in each egg shell at the fat/wide bottom of the egg. That is where the air sack is and by poking that hole the air is able to escape as it expands when it gets hot and you will avoid those ugly cracked boiled eggs.
• Add water and 1 TBL salt to a large pot and bring to a rapid boil. Use enough water so the eggs will be covered when added to the pot.
• Once boiling, pour approximately 3/4 cup of vinegar to the water. The salt and the vinegar will not effect the taste of the eggs in any way, they are just to facilitate the peeling of the eggs.
• Immediately start GENTLY dropping the eggs into the pot, being careful not to crack the shells.
• bring back to a boil and boil for 15 minutes.
• Drain and dump the eggs into a large pot of ice water. I use a large salad bowl for this.
• Once rapidly cooled down, crack shells and you should get a perfect peel.
• In the mean time, in a medium pot, mix together the vinegar, water,& 1 1/2 tsp salt, bay leaf and garlic.
• Bring to a boil over medium heat, lower temperature, cover& simmer for 5 minutes.
• Transfer the eggs to sterile containers, fill with hot vinegar mixture& seal.
• Allow to cool& then refrigerate for at least 2 weeks before serving.

PICKLED EGGS

Steps:

• Bring the vinegar, 3/4 cup water, 3 tablespoons salt, the coriander seeds, mustard seeds, sugar, onions and chiles to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the salt and sugar. Reduce the heat, cover and let the brine simmer for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pierce each egg all the way through about 6 times with a cake tester or toothpick. Put 2 eggs in each of 3 glass pint jars with lids, and tuck the celery and dill in around them. Ladle in enough brine to cover the eggs, add 2 more eggs to each jar and ladle in more brine to cover, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top. Close the jars, let cool to room temperature and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving.
• To serve, halve or quarter the eggs, and spoon some pickling liquid and vegetables over the top. (The eggs will keep, covered by liquid and refrigerated, for up to 5 days.)
