Ingredients

Scale

  1. Pickling Liquid:

    • 1 cup white vinegar – Base for the brine.
    • 1 cup water – Balances the acidity.
    • 1/4 cup sugar – Adds sweetness.
    • 1 tablespoon salt – Enhances flavor.
    • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns – Provides a hint of spice.
    • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds – Adds a tangy flavor.
    • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional) – For a spicy kick.

    Main Ingredients:

    • 6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled – Core of the recipe.
    • 1 pound sausage (kielbasa or smoked sausage), sliced – Adds savory depth.
    • 1 onion, thinly sliced – Enhances flavor and texture.

Instructions

Preparing the Pickling Liquid

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine white vinegar, water, sugar, salt, black peppercorns, mustard seeds, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.

Assembling the Jar

  1. Place the peeled hard-boiled eggs, sliced sausage, and thinly sliced onion into a clean glass jar or container with a tight-fitting lid.
  2. Carefully pour the hot vinegar mixture over the eggs, sausage, and onions, ensuring everything is fully submerged.
  3. Allow the pickling liquid to cool to room temperature.

Finishing Touches

  1. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to let the flavors develop. For best results, allow 3-5 days before serving.
  2. Serve as a snack, appetizer, or alongside your favorite dishes.

Notes

  • For extra tang, use apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar.
  • Customize spices to suit your taste—try adding garlic cloves or bay leaves.
  • Store the pickled eggs and sausage in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
