If you’ve never tried pickled eggs, you’re in for a treat! These Balsamic Pickled Eggs are tangy, savory, and have a subtle sweetness that’ll make your taste buds dance. Plus, they look gorgeous on any plate!
Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 bay leaf
- A few sprigs of fresh thyme (optional)
Instructions:
- Start by hard-boiling the eggs. Place them in a pot and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let them sit for 12-15 minutes, then transfer to an ice bath to cool.
- While the eggs are cooling, prepare your pickling liquid. In a saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar, water, sugar, salt, black peppercorns, mustard seeds, crushed garlic, bay leaf, and thyme. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer for about 5 minutes to let those flavors mingle.
- Once the eggs are cooled, gently peel them and place them in a clean jar. You can use a large mason jar or any glass container with a lid. It’s important to sterilize your jar to keep everything fresh and tasty!
- Pour the hot pickling liquid over the eggs, making sure they’re fully submerged. If you need to, you can add a bit more vinegar or water to cover the eggs completely.
- Seal the jar and let it cool to room temperature before putting it in the fridge. For the best flavor, let those eggs pickle for at least 48 hours before diving in. But if you can wait a week, you’ll be in for a real treat!
When you’re ready to serve, these Balsamic Pickled Eggs can be sliced up and added to salads, served as an appetizer, or just enjoyed straight from the jar! You’ll be the star of your next gathering with this awesome dish. Happy pickling!
