- 12 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
- 2 cups white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed
- 2 bay leaves
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of white vinegar, 1 cup of water, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black peppercorns, 2 cloves of smashed garlic, and 2 bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Place the 12 peeled hard-boiled eggs in a large glass jar or container.
- Carefully pour the hot vinegar mixture over the eggs, making sure they are completely submerged. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.

Pickled eggs have a rich history dating back to the 19th century, when they were a popular bar snack in the United Kingdom and United States. The tangy, savory flavor of pickled eggs made them a hit among pub-goers and they soon became a staple in many bars and taverns. Chefs and home cooks alike experimented with different pickling spices and techniques, leading to a wide variety of regional variations. Today, pickled eggs can be found in gastropubs, breweries, and specialty food shops across the world. The best versions of this dish can be found in traditional British pubs and Southern American diners, where they are often served with a side of pickled onions and a cold pint of beer. The key to making delicious pickled eggs lies in the brine, which typically includes vinegar, sugar, and a mix of spices like mustard seeds, peppercorns, and bay leaves. Some chefs also add beets to the brine, giving the eggs a vibrant pink hue and a slightly sweet flavor. Whether enjoyed as a snack or a side dish, pickled eggs continue to be a beloved and timeless culinary tradition.
