Chipotle and Adobo Pickled Eggs

Ingredients:

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1 cup of apple cider vinegar
  • 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 2 tablespoons of adobo sauce from the chipotle can
  • 1 teaspoon of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 tablespoon of whole black peppercorns
  • 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and smashed
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions:

  1. Start by hard boiling the eggs. Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let them sit for 12 minutes.
  2. After the time is up, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool for about 10 minutes. This will stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
  3. While the eggs are cooling, prepare the pickling liquid. In a medium saucepan, combine the water, apple cider vinegar, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, sugar, salt, black peppercorns, garlic, and bay leaf.
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt. Once it starts to simmer, reduce the heat and let it cook for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  5. Peel the cooled eggs and place them in a clean glass jar. Pour the pickling liquid over the eggs until they are fully submerged.
  6. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, but ideally 3 days, to allow the flavors to develop fully.
  7. Once ready, your chipotle and adobo pickled eggs will be perfect as a tangy snack, appetizer, or a bold addition to salads!

Enjoy the kick of flavor these pickled eggs bring to your meals and gatherings. They are not only delicious but also packed with protein, making them a satisfying treat that everyone will love!
