Chipotle and Adobo Pickled Eggs
From their eye-catching appearance to their irresistible flavor, these pickled eggs are sure to impress your friends and family. Plus, they’re surprisingly easy to make!
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Peel the cooled eggs and place them in a clean glass jar. Pour the pickling liquid over the eggs until they are fully submerged.
- Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, but ideally 3 days, to allow the flavors to develop fully.
- 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!
