Dill Pickled Eggs
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 12 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
- 2 cups white vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons pickling salt
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed
- 2 teaspoons dill seeds
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of white vinegar, 1/2 cup of water, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of pickling salt, 2 cloves of smashed garlic, 2 teaspoons of dill seeds, 1 teaspoon of black peppercorns, and 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved.
- Once the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the brine cool to room temperature.
- Place the peeled hard-boiled eggs in a large glass jar or container with a tight-fitting lid. Carefully pour the cooled brine over the eggs, making sure they are completely submerged. If necessary, use a small plate or weight to keep the eggs submerged in the brine.
- Seal the jar or container with the lid and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the eggs to pickle and develop flavor. For best results, let the eggs pickle for 3-5 days before consuming.
- Once pickled to your liking, remove the eggs from the brine and enjoy them as a tangy snack or slice them to top salads for an extra burst of flavor.
Pickled eggs have a rich history dating back to the 19th century, when they were a popular bar snack in the United Kingdom and the United States. The addition of dill to the pickling brine gives these eggs a unique and refreshing flavor. Chefs and home cooks alike have experimented with different variations of pickled eggs, with some adding spices like mustard seeds or red pepper flakes for an extra kick. In the Southern United States, pickled eggs are often served alongside other pickled vegetables as part of a traditional "pickle plate." Today, the best versions of pickled eggs with dill can be found in artisanal delis and gastropubs, where they are served as a gourmet bar snack or appetizer. To make the perfect pickled eggs with a hint of dill, it's important to use fresh, high-quality eggs and to let them marinate in the brine for at least a week to fully absorb the flavors. For a unique twist, some chefs also recommend using apple cider vinegar or adding a splash of pickle juice from other pickled vegetables to the brine for added complexity.
