Pickled Deviled Eggs
How to make pickled eggsStart with hard boiling the eggs. Place one dozen eggs in a medium sized saucepan and cover with water (1” over the top of the eggs) and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Turn off the heat and let sit for 15 minutes. Carefully scoop each egg into a large bowl filled with ice water. Once cool, crack and carefully remove each shell. Place into a large mason jar. For the brine: You’ll need 2 cups of beet juice, either from 2 cans of canned beets or 2 cups of reserved liquid left over from boiling fresh beets. Either will work fine. Take these 2 cups of beet juice and bring to a boil with 1 cup of North Coast Apple Cider Vinegar and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Simmer over low heat stirring until the sugar dissolves. Set aside until cool, then pour over the eggs. Seal the mason jar lid tight and place in the refrigerator until desired color is reached. To get a nice deep, dark purple we let ours sit for 3 weeks.Now for the fun part…. making the deviled eggs!Ingredients:12 beet pickled eggs1/2 cup mayonnaise2 teaspoons yellow mustard2 teaspoons North Coast Apple Cider Vinegar1/2 teaspoon saltFresh microgreens for garnishDirections:Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and place on a plate.
