For those of you that have made pickled eggs by simply dropping them in pickle juice…how long do you typically leave them in the brine before you start enjoying them?
Making Pickled Eggs?
I wait about 2 weeks. I have a jar in my fridge right now that have about a week to go.
Here is One I ate yesterday after being in the brine 3 days. It had picked up some flavor but needed more.
I let them sit for at least a week, but they are one of the foods that gets better over time.
I suggest adding lots of mustard and hot sauce into the jar. What is really great is using the left over brine from pickled jalapenos
I tasted one after four days and it was pleasant but not very sour. After three or four more days I tasted another and it was more pickle-like. I was not overly fond of the flavor but I will make them again because I like having cooked eggs at the ready, and these will keep for a long time without spoiling.
I think there are a lot of flavor profiles a person could develop to suit their tastes
