Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes.

  2. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely before peeling.

  3. Peel the eggs and carefully place them in a clean, sterilized glass jar, ensuring enough space to fit all eggs comfortably.

  4. In a saucepan, combine white vinegar, water, sugar, salt, black peppercorns, mustard seeds, garlic, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until sugar and salt dissolve.

  5. Remove the vinegar mixture from heat and let it cool slightly for 5-10 minutes.

  6. Pour the warm liquid over the eggs in the jar, making sure they are completely covered. Adjust liquid amount if needed.

  7. Let the pickled eggs cool to room temperature, then seal the jar tightly with a lid.

  8. Place the jar in the refrigerator and allow the flavors to develop for at least 5-7 days before eating.

  9. Pickled eggs will last in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
