Pickled eggs are a special food to snack on, serve as an appetizer, or add slice and serve with salad. Not only are they fun to make, but the tangy salty flavor is also so delicious! This recipe is sugar-free and naturally low carb. It is keto and carnivore diet-friendly.
Bring the water, vinegar, onion, spices, and salt to a gentle boil for 5 minutes. Then remove from heat and cool slightly.
1 cup water, ½ cup raw apple cider vinegar, ¼ small onion, 2 tablespoons pickling spices, 1 teaspoon salt
Add the hard-boiled eggs to a clean glass jar.
8 hard-boiled eggs
Pour liquid over the eggs, cover completely and seal the jar.
Transfer to the refrigerator and leave to sit for at least 2 days until ready to eat. If you can, waiting 1 week is best.
Store in the fridge. Serve whole or sliced on salad, meat, or by themselves.
Notes
If you do not have pickling spices, use cloves of garlic, dried herbs and seeds instead. I use 1 tsp dried herb per liter of water/vinegar brine, which covers 8-10 hard boiled eggs.
