Time P14D

Number Of Ingredients 4

10 to 12 large hard-cooked eggs
1 tablespoon store-bought or homemade Cajun seasoning
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons store-bought or homemade hot pepper sauce
6 tablespoons distilled white vinegar

Steps:

  • Gently pack the eggs into the jar, sprinkling them with the Cajun seasoning as you go.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the hot pepper sauce and vinegar. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring frequently. Pour over the eggs.
  • Seal the jar and let it cool to room temperature. Stash the jar in the refrigerator, giving the jar a gentle shake to redistribute the spices every couple days, for at least 2 weeks and up to 3 months. (The flavor will initially be hot and vinegary but if you wait at least 2 weeks the pickled eggs will pick up a complexity and become more imbued with the Cajun spices.)

PICKLED QUAIL EGGS RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Provided by Pattywak

Number Of Ingredients 11

PICKLING INGREDIENTS:
25 quail eggs, boiled
1 1/2 cup vinegar
1 cup water
3/4 teaspoon dill seed
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
3 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon mustard seed
1/2 teaspoon onion juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper or any Louisiana Hot Sauce (optional for spicy)

Steps:

  • First thing you need to do is check for cracked eggs. Then soak your eggs in warm water for a few minutes and clean. Place eggs in a pan, cover with cold water, at least 1 inch above the eggs. Bring water to a rolling boil before removing from heat. Allow eggs to stand in hot water for 10 minutes. Gently stir them occasionally to prevent the yolk from settling to one side. Drain water and cover eggs with white vinegar, at least 1 inch above the eggs. Stir the eggs every few hours. After 12 hours the shells should have dissolved in the vinegar leaving the membrane on the egg. Rinse the eggs thoroughly and peel them. Then rinse them again and place them in a 1-quart canning jar. Place pickling ingredients in a pan and simmer for 15 minutes. Pour the pickling liquid into the quart jar, completely covering the eggs. When the eggs and mixture have cooled, cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh quail eggs. Older eggs may not pickle properly.
  • Be sure to clean the quail eggs thoroughly before pickling them. This will help to prevent spoilage.
  • Use a clean jar and lid for pickling the eggs. This will also help to prevent spoilage.
  • Store the pickled quail eggs in a cool, dark place. They will keep for up to 6 months.
  • Pickled quail eggs can be used in a variety of dishes, such as salads, sandwiches, and appetizers.

Conclusion:

Pickled quail eggs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks. With their tangy and slightly spicy flavor, pickled quail eggs are sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you are looking for a fun and easy recipe, give pickled quail eggs a try.
