Eggs Preserved In Brine Recipe

Eggs preserved in brine

From armida 14 years ago

A very tasty way of preserving eggs; beautiful in salads, but also on their own as a snack with some mustard and a slice of buttered rye bread

Boil the eggs for 20 minutes
Do not peel the eggs, but crack the shells all over by bouncing them a few times on the countertop
While the eggs are boiling, prepare the brine
Heat the water and add the salt, all the spices and the unpeeled onion
The brine will be a dark brown liquid
Bring to a boil, then allow to simmer for 15 minutes
Place the eggs in a large jar and cover with the brine
Close the jar and store in a cool place
The eggs are ready to eat after 5 days, but are fantastic after 2 weeks
My last batch is still going strong after 2 months and is getting even tastier

I don't care for vinegar pickled eggs but these are WONDERFUL. I halved the recipe which is 1 Qt water and 1/4 cup sea salt by the way. 1/2 recipe on the Tbs will be 1 and 1/2 Tsp. I did peel my Guinea eggs and cut my onion so I could eat it too. Try these even if you don't like pickled eggs.

Hi, thanks for your comment. Sure you can. Use the spices you really like. When I pickle eggs in vinegar, I add a red hot chili and tarragon.
