Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces large eggs
- 4 cups distilled white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 3 pieces jalapeno peppers
- 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon dried red chili flakes
Instructions
Place the eggs in a large saucepan and cover with water by about 1 inch. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, remove from heat, cover the saucepan, and let the eggs sit for 12 minutes.
Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely, then peel the eggs and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, sugar, salt, garlic cloves, black peppercorns, mustard seeds, and chili flakes. Slice the jalapeno peppers into rings and add them to the mixture.
Bring the pickling mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sugar and salt are dissolved.
Remove the pickling liquid from heat and let it cool slightly for 10 minutes.
In a large glass jar or multiple smaller jars, add the peeled hard-boiled eggs. Pour the pickling liquid over the eggs, ensuring all the eggs are fully submerged.
Seal the jar(s) with a lid and let it sit at room temperature until completely cooled.
Refrigerate the pickled eggs for at least 3 days to develop the flavors. For the best taste, wait for 1 week before serving.
Store the pickled eggs in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Enjoy them as a snack, on salads, or as a spicy addition to your favorite dishes!
