Pickled eggs with beets recipe
Just look at that vibrant purple/pink color…don’t they just look beautiful?! The eggs have been pickled for (at least) 2 days in a delicious, spiced, tangy and slightly sweet mixture of beets, garlic, onion, vinegar, sugar, cloves and bay leaves. These eggs, bursting with flavor, are very tasty and look absolutely amazing.
Although eggs steal the show, sliced beets and onions are just as good! Pickled eggs with beets make a great appetizer or snack and are a colorful addition to any salad. Also, they look wonderful on the Easter table and are naturally dyed!
This recipe is easy and quick to make with just a few basic ingredients. Whenever I buy beets I tend to make this pickled eggs with beets recipe or my Russian beet soup (borscht).
Anyhow, my family absolutely loves these pickled eggs and they are always a big hit with my guests. I’m positive you’ll have the same success!
Enjoy!
