Pickled Egg Appetizer With Blue Moon Wheat Ale Recipes

TAVERN BAR STYLE PICKLED EGGS RECIPE

Steps:

• BOIL METHOD 1: Place eggs in a large deep pan, cover with enough water. people add a splash of vinegar or dash of baking soda to the water and say it helps them peel! Bring to a full boil, then turn off the heat. Put a lid on your pot, and let rest for at least 20 minutes.
• STEAM METHOD 2: Make sure your veggie steamer basket fits in your large pot. Put a good 1 inch of water in a large pot and bring the cold water to a boil over high heat which takes about 6 minutes. Place the steamer basket in the pot and all 12 eggs on the steamer basket. Cover the pot, and set the timer for 12 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, move the hard boiled eggs to a bowl filled halfway with ice water. Note: This method is MUCH faster as you don't have to wait for a large pot of water to boil, and they are much easier to peel, try it out!
• Peel all the shells off, and place eggs in a large clean jar. I use a clamp-style 2-quart large jar. Next, pour the 12 oz jar of Hot Yellow Peppers with their pickling mixture into your large glass jar on top.
• In a large saucepan, add the white vinegar, water, pickling spice, sugar, turmeric, and sea salt. Heat the pickling solution to just boiling, and then turn off the heat to stop the cooking process.
• Carefully pour the hot brine solution over the hard-boiled eggs and chili peppers. Wait for the jar contents of peeled eggs, yellow peppers with their juice, and vinegar brine liquid to cool, with the jar open for about one hour. Then place the closed jar in the refrigerator.
• Wait about 7 days, and they are ready to eat!
• Always keep these pickled eggs cold in the refrigerator, eat within one month.

SWEET PICKLED EGGS

Steps:

• Cover eggs with water in a large pot. Cover with lid. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil gently for 10 minutes. Drain. Run cold water over eggs until they are cold. Shell eggs.
• Prepare the brine in a sauce pan by combining the vinegar, water, sugar and salt. Stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved.
• Layer the eggs (whole) and onion rings in a sterilized 2 quart jar to within 1 inch of the top.
• Add pickling spice to brine. Swirl bag around for 30 seconds. Remove bag. Pour brine over eggs to fill jar with 1/4 inch from top. Seal with a sterilized lid. Store in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 weeks before serving. Serve chilled.

BOURBON BASALMIC PICKLED EGGS

Steps:

• 1. Remove eggs from refrigerator and bring to room temperature.
• 2. Boil together the bourbon, basalmic vinegar, and salt until reduced by about 1/4. Taste to adjust salt level. Should be a little salty, like potato chip salty, to the taste, because the eggs will take some of that salt in the pickling process. Refrigerate to cool completely.
• 3. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil.
• 4. Use tongs to place eggs in a single layer in the boiling water, then set a timer for 6 minutes and 45 seconds.
• 5. When the timer is up, remove eggs to a cold water bath, and repeat step 4 until all eggs are boiled.
• 6. Using a large spoon, carefully peel the eggs while they're still warm inside. They will be very fragile because the yolk is still quite soft at this point.
• 7. Gently place the peeled eggs in a sterilized container, then pour over the bourbon basalmic brine. Depending upon your container, and how many eggs don't make it due to breakage, you may need to make more brine, or you may have leftover brine. I use a flat lock-tite container. You simply want to make sure the eggs are completely immersed in the brine.
• 8. Refrigerate for two days, and enjoy.

BACON AND CHEESE EGG APPETIZERS

Steps:

• Using a knife cut the outside of the egg white just as far as the yolk, and carefully remove the egg white leaving the yolks intact.
• Mash the egg yolks and stir with the mayonnaise, bacon, vinegar, cheese, and salt.
• Fill the egg white halves with the mixture.
• Top with the crumbled bacon.
