Follow The Directions
01
StepGently place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. (2 minutes)
02
StepBring the water to a rolling boil, then immediately remove the pan from the heat. Cover tightly and let the eggs stand in the hot water for 10-12 minutes. (12 minutes)
03
StepCarefully remove the eggs from the hot water and immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. (3 minutes)
04
StepOnce cooled, gently roll the eggs on a countertop to create fine cracks in the shells. Submerge the cracked eggs in the ice water for up to 1 hour. This makes peeling incredibly easy. (1 hour)
05
StepPlace the peeled eggs in a large bowl or a wide-mouthed jar with a lid. Pour the pickled beets and their juice over the eggs. Add the sliced red onion. (5 minutes)
06
StepCover the container tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, or preferably up to 48 hours for a deeper, more vibrant color and flavor. Turn the jar or stir gently once or twice during the pickling process to ensure even coloring. (48 hours)
07
StepTo serve, slice the pickled eggs in half and arrange them artfully on a platter. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
