So what do you do when you're egg bowl is full daily? You fry them, you make fritatas, you give them away, you pickle them! Here I am to give you one of my favorite and easiest recipes of all time: Pickled Eggs!
1) Every time you empty a jar of pickles, dilly beans, hot peppers, what-have-you; dump your pickling brine into a half gallon jar until full.
2) When your egg bowl is overflowing take the oldest dozen from the bottom of the bowl and put them in a carton, in the fridge and forget about for roughly 2 weeks. (This aging process creates an egg that is easy to peel)
3) Place all eggs in a saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Turn off heat and cover pan for 10 minutes.
4) Immediately plunge eggs into cold water and continue to run cold water through them until the eggs are easy to touch and not scalding.
5) Peel eggs and drop them into your brine, keeps indefinitely in the fridge, but ready to eat after 1 week.
I love this! We're trying to think of the many egg recipes before our chickens start laying (let's say, if at least 10 out of 14 lay, we'll still have too many eggs!). Thanks for the recipe!
