Ingredients for 8 servings:

  • 8 eggs
  • 750 ml water
  • 60 g salt
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 10 minutes

Add the spices and coarsely chopped onion to the water, bring the water to a boil, and simmer for 5-10 minutes, depending on the desired intensity. Then let the brine cool. Boil the eggs hard for 8-10 minutes, then refresh, crack them all over, and place them in a glass or ceramic container with the brine. If there isn’t enough liquid, add more water. Cover and refrigerate. After 2-3 days, the pickled eggs are ready to enjoy. We traditionally serve them with vinegar, mustard, and a little oil. Some people also add Maggi.
