I've been making them so I have fuel to trudge around in all this heavy snow and tap all the beautiful trees. They're a great way to cut down on the carbs and lose a few pounds that have stuck since the holidays too!
I used an Insta Pot to cook my eggs and they came out baby bottom smooth! No struggling to peel with the Insta Pot.
We enjoyed them as a side to a pickle-brined fried chicken sandwich and man was that good.
The mayo had some ghost extract in it... just gave it a little zip!
Make hard-boiled eggs and peel them — a pressure cooker works well to get eggs to peel easily.
In a medium saucepan, mix together vinegar, water, sugar, prime rib spice, and salt. Bring to a boil; then reduce heat to low until the sugar has dissolved. Mix in the garlic and remove from heat.
Fill a clean 2-liter glass jar with your eggs.
Tuck in some sliced red onion.
Pour the brine over the eggs and seal.
Store in the refrigerator.
Recipe Note
Your eggs can be eaten after only a few hours of marinating, but for best results, allow your eggs to pickle for 5-7 days, which allows that salty-vinegar brine to penetrate the eggs and produce a deeper flavor. The eggs definitely get better after a week or more — if you can leave them alone that long!
I use Sazon as a salt substitute.
Once they’re sealed in an airtight jar, your pickled eggs will last for up to 3 months in the fridge!
