How to cook
- Boil eggs (hard-boiled) : place washed raw eggs in cold water (salted - a pinch of salt so as not to crack). Bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes . Pour boiled eggs with cold water and cool. Clear.
- Make the marinade : add salt and sugar to the water. Boil. Add bay leaf, black and allspice. After 3-5 minutes, turn off the stove and add vinegar. The marinade can be cooled to warm or room temperature (or used hot).
- Marinating eggs : place peeled boiled eggs in a glass jar with a wide neck (or a regular one, but it’s easier to remove it from a wide one without damaging it). Add your chosen spices and vegetables for coloring (beets or red cabbage). Pour over the marinade.
After 24 hours, the pickled eggs are ready. After three days they will become sharper and the color will penetrate all the way to the yolk.
The taste of pickled eggs changes only in the white part (it is soaked in a spicy or hot-spicy marinade); the yolk, as a rule, remains the same in both taste and color.

American way of pickling eggs with beets
American-style chicken eggs are not just cooked in beet broth: it is this that gives the dish its original color.
Ingredients of the marinade for 6-8 boiled eggs:
- 1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar;
- 1 tbsp. beet broth (you can use the filling from canned beets);
- 1/3 tbsp. Sahara;
- 1/4 onion;
- 1 star anise;
- 1 bay leaf;
- a pinch of coriander.
To prepare beet broth, peel the root vegetable and cut it into small slices, cook until soft. The color of the broth should become rich beetroot, not dirty brown. Place all ingredients for preparing the marinade in a stainless steel bowl, bring to a boil and set aside to cool.
Immediately remove the bay leaf and star anise. Peeled eggs are pickled in a jar mixed with beets from which the decoction was prepared, and the products should be placed freely. Pour in the slightly cooled marinade, screw on the lid, cool and put in the refrigerator for several days.
Marinated quail eggs
Quail eggs can be boiled and eaten. They can be added to the dough. Quail eggs can be used to make beautiful snacks on skewers. You can also add them to salads.
Eggs are also used to decorate various dishes. What else? Prepare sandwiches with quail eggs. Stuff pancakes with them... That's it, my imagination seems to have dried up...
But one day I was walking along the store shelves and saw quail eggs in a jar. Pickled!
I was surprised, of course, how is it pickled? Is this possible? Maybe! And, it should be noted, there are quite a few ways to marinate. Will learn!
Quail eggs in marinade
Ingredients : quail eggs (boiled and peeled) - 12 pcs., 3 cloves of garlic, marinade (2/3 cup of water, 1/3 cup of 9 percent vinegar, 9 black peppercorns, 6 allspice peas, 4 buds of cloves, small pieces of cinnamon and ginger root (it doesn’t matter - dry or fresh), as well as bay leaf, a teaspoon of salt and sugar).
We prepare the marinade as follows: add salt and sugar to water with vinegar. When brought to a boil, add spices. After 3 minutes after boiling, remove from heat and let cool.
Place chopped garlic cloves in a jar, then eggs, pour warm marinade. Place in the refrigerator. You need to stand for two days. Keep in mind: eggs are not preserved with this pickling method.
Original pickled quail eggs
Ingredients : quail eggs - 16-20 pcs., half a small beetroot, wine vinegar - 2 tbsp. l. for 0.5 liters of water, salt - 1 dessert spoon, sugar - 1 tsp, garlic - 2 cloves, a sprig of tarragon, allspice, bay leaf, hot pepper or mustard seeds (optional).
We prepare the marinade as follows: add salt and sugar to water with vinegar. After the boil begins, throw in all the listed spices. After 2-3 minutes of boiling, remove. Cool slightly and pour into a jar in which peeled eggs and cut into strips beets were previously placed. Cover with a lid and after cooling, place in the refrigerator. After three days you can eat it.
Calcined quail egg dressing
Place the shells in a jar and fill with wine vinegar. The contents will actively “hiss” and “spit” bubbles. Don't be scared! This is a chemical reaction, and a completely safe one! After this reaction has occurred, keep the dressing covered for several days, then strain and mix with vegetable oil. You can add your favorite spices.
Why is such a gas station needed? For health, of course! Natural calcium from the shell is easily absorbed by the body.
Add this healthy solution to salads, sauces, seasonings, marinades, and gravies. And be healthy!
Chinese marinated quail eggs
Do you like Chinese cuisine? This means that you will like this particular method of preparing quail eggs. Do not love? Worth trying to love! The eggs turn out spicy-salty-sweet, so, as they say, they will satisfy any taste.
We take: soy sauce – 1 glass (preferably moderately salted), brewed strong black tea – 1 glass, garlic – 2 cloves (you can have 1 or 3 if you prefer), ginger – 5 g, quail eggs – 10 pieces, pepper - taste.
Brew strong tea. Grind the ginger root, finely chop the garlic. Mix the tea leaves and soy sauce. Bring to a boil. Add ginger, garlic, pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
Boil and peel the quail eggs. Place the eggs in the hot marinade. Cool to room temperature. Place in the refrigerator for one day. Don’t rush to destroy the dish, remember: the longer it waits, the tastier it is.
Italian marinated quail eggs
Boil quail eggs - 10-15 pieces.
For the marinade: water, table vinegar, any spices you like. Mix two tablespoons of vinegar with one liter of water. Stir salt in a slightly warmed solution - 3 tbsp. l. and sugar - 1 tbsp. l.
Cook the marinade over moderate heat for about three minutes. Gradually add spices to the marinade: garlic, peppercorns, a mixture of Italian herbs, bay leaf, etc.
The marinade needs to cool slightly.
Peel the boiled eggs and put them in a jar. Now pour in the marinade and leave to “languish” and pick up flavors for two to three days in the refrigerator.
Marinated quail eggs with pepper
Take sweet, bitter and hot (chili) peppers.
Prepare the marinade (water - liter, vinegar - 2 tbsp), add your favorite spices.
Place eggs in a jar, alternating with different peppers, cut into rings. But if you can have a lot of sweet peppers, then don’t overdo it with bitter ones - one pod is enough.
Also place bay leaf and a couple of sprigs of parsley, dill and a clove of garlic in the jar. Fill everything with marinade.
Marinated quail eggs are flavorful
Boil the eggs, cool, and peel.
We prepare the marinade as follows: dilute soy sauce with three tablespoons of rice vinegar, add a pinch of pepper and a teaspoon of sugar. Bring to a boil. Pour in a few tablespoons of sesame, linseed or corn oil (as you like!). Pour the marinade over the eggs and leave in the refrigerator for a couple of days.
How to peel quail eggs
Housewives know what a hassle it is to peel quail eggs. But if they adhere to a few simple rules, then the task will not seem so difficult to them.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rslfUmExlXY
Place the eggs in cold water. After the water boils, cook for 1 minute. Place the eggs under cold water. This is necessary so that there is no dark strip along the edge of the yolk.
To clean without problems, tap the egg on something hard (for example, on a table), then the shell will come off easily.
Remove the shells under running tap water. There will be no trace left of small pieces of shell.
If you need to cook a lot of quail eggs, then vinegar can make the task easier.
Make a solution of one part 9% vinegar and two parts water. Place boiled quail eggs in this solution for 3-4 hours. During this time, the eggshell will dissolve. After that, all that remains is to wash the eggs.

How to make pickled eggs - a real bar appetizer
For many Americans, having a jar of pickled eggs on the bar counter is a sign that you are actually at a bar. If you dig deeper, the tradition of this snack goes far, far into the history of Western Europe and was not always associated with drinking establishments. Rum suggests preparing pickled eggs according to one of the traditional recipes. Easter is coming soon!
It is not known for certain who and when came up with the idea of pickling chicken eggs.
It is clear that this snack arose out of necessity - a fresh egg has its own expiration date, and at a time when food was stored only in cellars, it was impossible to taste such a delicacy in winter.
Presumably, pickling eggs in a salt and/or vinegar solution was first practiced in Western Europe in the 1700s. This invention is usually attributed to the British, but everything indicates that the Germans were the first.
In the mid-1800s, pickled eggs were a staple snack in German bars in North America (the so-called Pennsylvania Germans). It was the Germans who migrated to the United States who were the first to notice the amazing combination of pickled egg and lager.
The Americans, as often happens, saw a financial benefit in this - a free appetizer in the form of a boiled egg was sobering and encouraged the visitor to order another glass. So pickled eggs have taken root in many drinking establishments to this day. As it turned out, not only there.
In many English-speaking families, eggs are pickled for any occasion, as a tasty and original snack for a light meal. Let's marinate too, Easter is coming soon!
Everything you need to know about pickled eggs
Hard-boiled eggs are peeled and left for some time in a marinade consisting mainly of vinegar, salt and all kinds of seasonings.
The marinade is usually boiled and simmered over low heat for 5-10 minutes, and then poured over boiled eggs while still hot. Egg whites tend to be more tender if you use a boiling marinade instead of a room temperature solution.
Small and medium-sized chicken eggs are best, as they soak up the marinade much faster. Fresh eggs are a priority.
There are many ways to boil eggs. There are so many housewives, so many opinions. The easiest way is to place the eggs in cold water, bring it to a boil and cook for 3 to 10 minutes, depending on how you want to cook them: soft-boiled, in a bag or hard-boiled.
For marinating, hard-boiled eggs are best, boiled for 10 minutes (homemade eggs take up to 13 minutes). And in order for the eggs to be cleaned well, after boiling they should immediately be placed in cold water, preferably with ice.
It is known that fresh eggs are less easy to clean, so it is better to leave them alone for 4-5 days after packaging and only then try to cook them.
There is also a more sophisticated method of boiling very fresh eggs.
To do this, you need to make a tiny hole in the “blunt” end of the egg, place the eggs in a small saucepan and fill them with cold water so that it covers them by 2-2.5 cm. The saucepan must be covered with a lid.
Quickly bring the water to a boil over high heat, then remove the pan from the heat and, without removing the lid, leave the eggs in boiling water for 15-18 minutes (15 minutes for small eggs, 18 for large ones). Next, the eggs need to be quickly placed in ice water for a minute, and then returned to boiling water for 10 seconds! As a result, the shell will crack on its own, and a fresh egg can be easily peeled from the “blunt” end.
Be very careful when storing pickled eggs. First of all, they should always be stored in the refrigerator.
Storing at room temperature increases the risk of botulinum toxin forming in the snack, which leads to severe poisoning of the body! After placing the eggs in the marinade, they need at least 2 days to absorb the taste of the marinade, but this is usually very little.
Small and medium eggs should be served after 1-2 weeks of marinating, large eggs after 2-4 weeks. Pickled eggs are stored in the refrigerator for a very long time, but it is better to use them within 3-4 months.

Chinese style with soy sauce and tea
The Chinese have their own idea of such a snack. They usually marinate boiled eggs in soy sauce. In this case, in addition to other spices, tea leaves must be added to the brine.
In addition, eggs are not pre-shelled. “Marble” eggs are extremely popular among the Chinese.
For their preparation, as a rule, the following products are used:
5 raw chicken eggs; 8 grams of sugar and the same amount of ground cinnamon; 2 clove buds; 2 tablespoons each of balsamic vinegar, as well as soy and fish sauce; 2 star anise; 5 tablespoons of black tea brewing.
The cooking method differs from the previous version:
First, as usual, the eggs need to be hard-boiled.
Next, you don’t need to peel them, but simply beat them around the perimeter with a teaspoon. Place the processed eggs in a saucepan. Add all the dry ingredients and vinegar there. Pour boiling water over the food so that the liquid completely covers the eggs. After this, both types of sauce are carefully introduced. Place the pan on the fire, bring its contents to a boil and cook for just a couple of minutes. As soon as the marinade has cooled, transfer the eggs to a jar, fill it with tea leaves and put it in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. After time has passed, they should be rinsed and cleaned well. Under the shell, an original marble mesh is formed on the squirrel. This method can be used to color eggs for Easter.

Pickled eggs
Cooking eggs this way is very simple, unlike smoked eggs. Once ready, this version of eggs can be used as a separate snack or as an ingredient in salads.
And finally, another weighty argument - it’s also beautiful! After all, even if your chickens lay colored or even blue eggs, after boiling and peeling the shells they all turn out to be equally white, while pickled eggs can have a different color depending on the composition of the components in the marinade.
There are many different options for pickling eggs, and in today’s article we will look at several recipes for pickling chicken eggs, although the eggs of other birds, including quail, are just as suitable for this method.
1 Spicy pickled eggs
A method for spicy lovers, although despite the marinade containing jalapeno and red pepper in the recipe, the eggs turn out more salty than spicy.
Ingredients for 2 one-liter jars:
- 1 fresh jalapeno (bitter green pepper), chopped
- 18 eggs
- salt
- red pepper flakes
- white vinegar
Preparation:
From this amount of ingredients you will get 2 one-liter jars of the product. So, boil the eggs hard and add cold water to remove the shell better.
Pour vinegar into a liter jar to 3/4 volume (approximately 750 ml) and add water to 1 liter. This amount is enough to fill 2 cans of eggs.
Pour the vinegar into a saucepan, add 1/8 cup salt and 2 tablespoons red pepper flakes. Heat the marinade over low heat until the salt dissolves, but do not boil.
Place chopped hot peppers at the bottom of sterilized jars and place peeled chicken eggs. Fill the jars with hot brine to the maximum volume and roll the lids tightly. Let it cool completely and put it in a cool place for 3 - 4 days until completely cooked.
2 Spicy pickled eggs
This marinade option is spicier than the previous one, however, if you don't like spicy foods, you can omit the chili pepper and red pepper flakes.
Ingredients:
- About 2 dozen hard-boiled eggs
- 1 liter white vinegar
- 1 chili pepper
- 1 white onion, finely chopped
- 1 head of garlic,
- 3-4 carnation flowers
- 1 teaspoon herb mixture
- 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
3 Pickled eggs with mustard (1 way)
This method involves obtaining pickled eggs of a beautiful yellow color, due to the presence of turmeric in the marinade. However, you can use simple food coloring instead.
4 Pickled eggs with beets
As you might have guessed, the eggs in this recipe will be pink due to the beets in the marinade.
5 Pickled eggs with sausage
You can get double the pleasure from this snack thanks to the sausage content in the recipe.

Pickled chicken eggs recipe
Kitchen appliances and accessories: bowl; grater; pot; jar with lid; frying pan; ladle; wooden spatula.
Onion | 1/3 pcs. |
Water | 1.3 l |
Beets (canned pickled) | 5 tbsp. l. |
Granulated sugar | 2 tbsp. l. |
Eggs | 4-20 pcs. |
Fine salt | 1.5 tbsp. l. |
Pepper (allspice) | 1 tsp. |
Caraway | 1 tsp. |
Carnation | 8 pcs. |
Bay leaf | 1-2 pcs. |
Hot peppers | taste |
Vinegar | 3 tbsp. l. |
Lemon zest | 1 tsp. |
Recommendations for choosing ingredients
- Before buying eggs, make sure they are intact - there should be no cracks or dents in the shell.
- Be sure to check the expiration dates on the packaging. At home, to check freshness, without breaking the egg, dip it in salt water. In this case, a fresh egg will sink to the bottom, and a stale egg will float to the surface.
Step-by-step preparation
- Place two onion rings (a third of a peeled large onion) in a preheated dry frying pan. Fry the onion on both sides until dark brown.
- Pour 1.3 liters of water into the pan. Bring it to a boil.
- Place 5 tablespoons of canned pickled beets along with juice into boiling water.
- Add 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, one and a half tablespoons of salt, a teaspoon each of cumin and allspice.
Add 8 cloves, 2 bay leaves and a small hot jalapeno pepper (or chili) to the marinade. Adjust the spiciness of the marinade to your liking. Mix all the ingredients and simmer the marinade for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the baked onion. - Pour in 3 tablespoons of wine vinegar. Add a teaspoon of lemon zest. Stir, cover the pan with the marinade with a lid and leave for 5 minutes.
- Boil hard-boiled eggs (10-12 minutes from the moment the water boils). Cool them in ice water.
- The number of eggs is at your discretion, from 4 to 20. Pour a little marinade into the bottom of the jar. Place the peeled eggs and fill them completely with marinade.
- Close the jar with a lid and put it in the refrigerator for a day.
After this, remove the eggs from the marinade, place them on a plate and serve as an appetizer.
Calcined quail egg dressing
Place the shells in a jar and fill with wine vinegar. The contents will actively “hiss” and “spit” bubbles. Don't be scared! This is a chemical reaction, and a completely safe one! After this reaction has occurred, keep the dressing covered for several days, then strain and mix with vegetable oil. You can add your favorite spices.
Why is such a gas station needed? For health, of course! Natural calcium from the shell is easily absorbed by the body.
Add this healthy solution to salads, sauces, seasonings, marinades, and gravies. And be healthy!
