The Best pub style pickled eggs recipe

I’m so excited to share this pub style pickled eggs recipe with you all. I’ve been making these for years, and they’re always a hit at family gatherings and parties. The story behind pickled eggs is that they originated in the UK, where they were a popular snack in pubs.

They’re made by marinating hard-boiled eggs in a mixture of vinegar, spices, and sometimes sugar. The result is a tangy, slightly sweet, and utterly addictive snack that’s perfect for munching on while watching sports or enjoying a picnic. In my opinion, the best part about pickled eggs is that they’re incredibly easy to make.

All you need is some eggs, vinegar, salt, and spices – and voila! You have a delicious and unique snack that’s perfect for any occasion. My kids love helping me make these because it’s such a fun process – we get to boil the eggs, mix up the marinade, and then watch as the eggs transform into these amazing little treats.

It’s always a great time when we’re making pickled eggs together as a family. I also love how versatile these pickled eggs are – you can serve them as a snack on their own, or use them as a topping for salads or sandwiches. And let’s not forget about the health benefits – pickled eggs are packed with protein and vitamins from the eggs themselves, plus all the goodness from the marinade.

So not only do they taste amazing, but they’re also good for you too! As an added bonus, pickled eggs are one of those recipes that just gets better with time – the longer they sit in the fridge, the more flavorful they become. This is definitely one of those recipes that I like to make ahead of time so that we can enjoy them throughout the week.

🥘Ingredients

For the Eggs

6 eggs

For the Pickling Liquid

1 cup white vinegar
1 cup water
2 tbsp sugar
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black peppercorns
1 tsp coriander seeds
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 bay leaf
1 small onion, sliced
1 small beetroot, sliced

👨‍🍳Directions

1Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water.
2Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
3Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and let the eggs simmer for 10 minutes.
4This will ensure the eggs are fully cooked and the yolks are set.
5After 10 minutes, drain the hot water and run cold water over the eggs to cool them down.
6Peel the eggs once they are cool enough to handle.
7While the eggs are cooling, prepare the pickling liquid.
8In a saucepan, combine white vinegar, water, sugar, and salt.
9Stir over medium heat until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved.
10Add black peppercorns, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, and bay leaf to the liquid.
11Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
12This will allow the spices to infuse into the liquid.
13Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
14Place the peeled eggs in a clean jar.
15Add the sliced onion and beetroot to the jar.
16Pour the pickling liquid over the eggs, ensuring they are fully submerged.
17Seal the jar tightly with a lid.
18Let the eggs pickle in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before serving.
19The longer they sit, the more flavorful they will become.
20After 24 hours, the pickled eggs will have a vibrant pink color from the beetroot and will be ready to serve as a snack or appetizer.

📝Notes

You can adjust the spices in the pickling liquid to suit your taste. Adding a pinch of turmeric will give the eggs a yellow color. For a spicier version, add a few sliced jalapeños to the jar. Store the pickled eggs in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

One of my favorite things about this recipe is how easy it is to store and reheat leftover pickled eggs. Simply place them in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy them throughout the week.

When it’s time to serve again, simply grab one out of the fridge and slice it up – no need to reheat! Another great thing about this recipe is how versatile it is when it comes to serving ideas.

Not only do they make an amazing snack on their own but also add them as a topping for salads or sandwiches for an extra burst of flavor.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Pub Style Pickled Eggs

Q: What is the best type of egg to use for pickling?

A: For pickling eggs, it’s best to use large or extra-large eggs since they will hold up better to the acidic marinade.

Q: Can I use different types of vinegar?

A: Yes, you can experiment with different types of vinegar to see which flavor you like best. Some people swear by apple cider vinegar for its mellow flavor, while others prefer white wine vinegar for its tanginess.

Q: How long do I need to let the eggs sit in the marinade?

A: The longer you let the eggs sit in the marinade, the more flavorful they will become. Aim for at least 24 hours in the fridge before serving.

Q: Can I add other ingredients to my pickling spice blend?

A: Absolutely! Feel free to get creative with your spice blend by adding other spices like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.

Q: Are pickled eggs safe to eat if left unrefrigerated?

A: Unfortunately not – like any food that contains protein and moisture (like our beloved pickled eggs), it’s essential to keep them refrigerated at all times to prevent bacterial growth.
