Delicious pickled eggs. Step by step recipe

1. I propose to prepare the marinade to take a stewpan not less than 1.5 liters of volume. Pour one liter of cold water. Pour all the spices that are indicated in the ingredients. We mix everything. If you don’t really like hot, add only one pod of red pepper instead of two.
2. Now prepare the eggs. All of us have more than once encountered how, when boiling, eggs burst, leak, and as a result we do not get a neatly cooked egg. There is one trick that will help you forget about such a sad outcome: my grandmother knew and used it.
3. Before you cook chicken eggs, you need to get them out of the refrigerator and leave them on the kitchen table so that they take room temperature. Next, you need to take a needle, pin or button. Carefully, slowly, make a hole from the blunt end of the egg, to a depth of no more than 2-3 millimeters. At this depth there is also an air cushion, so the egg will not leak. We do this with all the prepared number of eggs.
4. Then put it in a pan, pour cold water and put on fire. At the same time we put a pan with marinade on the fire. Cook for about 10 minutes from the moment of boiling water. We drain the hot water, fill it with cold and allow time to cool and reach. We leave the marinade in the pan until it cools completely.
5. The cooled chicken eggs are slightly beaten on both sides with a spoon and spread in a previously sterilized jar. Fill everything with marinade (along with spices), close the lid. We put in a refrigerator or other cold place for two days.

Two days later, delicious pickled eggs are ready. Serve with mustard, bread and butter. Great for breakfast or dinner. As for the taste itself, the yolk does not change much, but the protein is filled with the aroma of herbs and spices. “Very tasty” wishes you a good mood and bon appetit!
