Ingredients

  • 6 hard boiled eggs (peeled)
  • Juice of one jar of dill pickles

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place the peeled hard-boiled eggs directly into the jar of pickle juice, or transfer the eggs and pickle juice into a clean mason jar.
  2. Step 2: Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 3 days before eating to allow the flavors to develop. The longer the eggs sit in the juice, the more flavorful and pickled they will become.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, add spices like garlic cloves, peppercorns, or mustard seeds to the pickle juice before refrigerating.
  • You can use flavored pickle juice, such as spicy or bread-and-butter variety, to change the taste profile.
  • If you prefer softer pickled eggs, reduce the soaking time to 24 hours.

Storage

Store the pickled eggs in the refrigerator, submerged in pickle juice, for up to 3 months. Keep the jar sealed tightly to maintain freshness. When ready to eat, simply remove an egg with clean utensils. You can enjoy them cold straight from the fridge, no reheating needed.
