Ingredients

6 hard boiled eggs, peeled
Juice of one jar of dill pickles

Instructions

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

Tips & Variations

For extra spice, add a few peppercorns or a slice of jalapeño to the jar before refrigerating.
If you prefer a sweeter flavor, mix in a teaspoon of sugar or honey to the pickle juice before soaking the eggs.
Use different types of pickle juice such as spicy, garlic, or bread and butter for unique tastes.

Storage

Store the pickled eggs in the refrigerator in a sealed jar. They will keep well for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, simply remove from the juice and eat cold or sliced on salads and sandwiches.

How to Serve

The image shows a rustic wooden board on a white marbled surface, holding three half-sliced hard-boiled eggs with smooth, white edges and bright yellow yolks, each garnished with a small piece of green dill. Next to the eggs are three pale green pickle spears with a crisp texture. Behind these, a clear glass jar filled with light yellow pickling liquid and pieces of garlic and dill inside sits prominently. To the right of the board is a white egg carton holding several whole white eggs, and a soft light blue cloth with a slightly wrinkled texture lies folded in the corner. A white plate with more pickle spears and scattered dill sprigs is visible on the left side. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
