These Spicy Garlic Pickled Eggs are a flavorful twist on the classic pickled egg recipe, perfect for snacking or as a tangy addition to your meals.
Place the peeled hard-boiled eggs into a clean glass jar.
Ensure the jar is sterilized to prevent contamination.
In a large pot, combine the vinegar, water, sliced onion, mustard seeds, black peppercorns, garlic cloves, jalapeños, salt, and sugar.
Use a non-reactive pot to avoid altering the flavor of the brine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir occasionally to ensure the sugar and salt dissolve completely.
Carefully pour the hot brine over the eggs in the jar, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Use a ladle to safely transfer the hot brine.
Seal the jar and let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating.
Ensure the jar is tightly sealed to maintain freshness.
Allow the eggs to marinate in the refrigerator for at least one week before enjoying.
The longer the eggs marinate, the more flavorful they will become.
