Makes

6 eggs

Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 shallot cut into thin rings
  • 1 teaspoon whole peppercorns
  • ¼ teaspoon mustard seeds
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 4 fresh dill sprigs
  • Bay leaf
  • 6 hard-boiled eggs

Instructions

  • Combine vinegar, 3/4 cups water, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan, place over medium heat, and simmer for several minutes to dissolve the sugar and salt. Cool to room temperature.
  • In a small bowl, combine garlic, shallot, peppercorns, mustard seeds, and red pepper flakes. Add half of this mixture to a quart Mason jar. Add cinnamon sticks, dill, and bay leaf. Place 3 eggs into the jar and top with remaining spice mix. Place the last 3 eggs into the jar and pour the cooled vinegar mixture into the jar to cover them, but leave at least 1/2 inch of headroom in the jar. Cover and place the jar in the refrigerator for 5–7 days before eating the eggs.
