Hopefully last week helped shed any weirdness you have concerning pickled eggs. They are everything I need in my food life these days: strongly flavored, cheapy-cheap-cheap, quick & easy to make, last forever, and work as great stand alone snack or as a building block to greatness.
Make some.
And then use them to make my Pickled Deviled eggs.
Ripe avocado replaces mayo. You won’t miss it.
I added cilantro, jalapeno & pickled onion to serve alongside slow cooked carnitas.
Switch up your fresh herbs & spices accordingly.
Smoked paprika is especially nice. As are thyme, sumac, even 5-Spice or harissa.
Experiment!
5 minutes to make.
Marvelous cold or at room temp.
Perfect addition to your arsenal. Trust me.
And let me know…
