This simple recipe for beet pickled eggs is a Ballerina Farm favorite. You can often find these eggs stocked at the Ballerina Farm Store, where they sit on our shelves in a vibrant, jewel toned tie-dye. We often make them with quail eggs, which is a beautiful substitution. Keep in mind that with eggs that small, you will need to use nearly double. Perfect for a quick snack, this recipe is as easy as they come and boasts an incredibly high reward. 

Beet Pickled Eggs

Prep: 24 hrs 20 minsCook: 15 minsYield: 2 (26-ounce) jars

Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water (to prevent cracking) and boil for 7 to 10 minutes—7 minutes for a softer boil, and 10 minutes for a hard boil. 
  2. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool, then peel and rinse the eggs. Set aside. 
  3. Trim away the beet greens and save them for another use. Peel and slice the beets, keeping the purple and golden beets separate.
  4. Add the purple beets to one small saucepan, and the golden beets to another small saucepan. To each saucepan, add 1 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 teaspoon French salt. 
  5. Bring both pans to a boil over medium-high heat, then remove from heat. 
  6. Divide the boiled eggs between 2 (26-ounce / 800-ml) jars, such as a Weck jar. Pour the purple beet mixture over one jar, and the golden beet mixture over the other. Add all of the sliced beets to the jar and be sure the eggs are submerged in the pickling liquid.
  7. Seal the jars and place them in the fridge for at least 1 to 2 days before enjoying. Store the pickled eggs for up to 1 month in the fridge.
