Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Pickled Eggs Delight.
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients to make this delicious pickled egg recipe.
Step 2
First, take your eggs and place them in a saucepan, covering them completely with water.
Step 3
Bring the water to a rolling boil, then remove the saucepan from the heat.
Step 4
Let the eggs sit in the hot water for about 15 minutes—this is the perfect time to enjoy a cup of tea or catch up on your favorite podcast.
Step 5
After the timer goes off, carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold running water to cool them down.
Step 6
Once they’re cool enough to handle, peel the eggs and set them aside, discarding the hot water.
Step 7
Next, in the same saucepan, combine white vinegar, sugar, and salt.
Step 8
Heat this mixture over medium heat, stirring gently until the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 9
Once it reaches a gentle boil, take it off the heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 10
Now, grab a 1-quart mason jar and layer in the peeled eggs along with some garlic cloves and a bay leaf for that extra flavor kick.
Step 11
Pour the warm vinegar mixture over the eggs, making sure they’re fully submerged in the liquid.
Step 12
Seal the jar tightly and pop it in the refrigerator.
Step 13
For the best flavor, let the eggs marinate for at least a week before you dig in.
Step 14
Trust me, the wait will be worth it! Enjoy your homemade pickled eggs as a tasty snack or a delightful addition to salads and sandwiches.
