Ingredients
- 12 hard boiled eggs
- 1 serrano pepper sliced
- ½ small yellow onion
Brine
- 3 cups white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon pickling salt
- 2 cloves garlic lightly crushed
- 1 bay leaf

Instructions
- Prepare your pickling brine by adding vinegar, cold water, sugar, salt, garlic cloves, bay leaf, crushed red pepper flakes, coriander seeds, and mustard seeds to a medium saucepan. Set the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer until all of the sugar and salt have dissolved, approximately 10 minutes.
- Remove the shells from your hard boiled eggs and place the eggs into a quart jar layering with raw onion and pepper slices.
- Pour the hot brine into the jar, ensuring the spices and garlic cloves make it into the jar. Any extra pickling liquid can be discarded.
- Place a lid on the jar and store in the refrigerator for a week, then enjoy.
