Place the large eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water. Ensure there is about an inch of water above the eggs.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot with a lid, remove from heat, and let it sit for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 5 minutes.
Peel the cooled eggs carefully under running water to remove the shells easily and set aside.
In a separate saucepan, combine white vinegar, water, sea salt, and granulated erythritol. Add the whole black peppercorns, mustard seeds, dried dill, garlic cloves, and bay leaves to the mixture.
Bring the saucepan contents to a boil over medium heat, making sure the salt and erythritol dissolve completely. Once boiling, remove from heat and let the pickling brine cool slightly.
Place the peeled eggs in a clean, sterilized large jar or several smaller jars, distributing ingredients evenly if using smaller jars.
Pour the warm but not hot pickling brine over the eggs, ensuring they are completely submerged. Seal the jar(s) with a tight-fitting lid.
Allow the eggs to pickle in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours, although they develop deeper flavor after 3-7 days.
Serve the pickled eggs as a snack, appetizer, or as a low-carb salad topping. Store them in the refrigerator and consume them within 1 month for best quality.
