Ingredients
  

  • 12 quail eggs hard boiled & peeled
  • 1 cup  white vinegar
  • 1 tsp  salt
  • 2 cloves  garlic peeled
  • 5 whole  peppercorns
  • 3-4 whole  allspice berries
  • 1-2 whole cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds

Instructions
 

  • Begin by hard boiling the quail eggs following the instructions mentioned above. Once the eggs are cooked, carefully peel the shells off and place the clean eggs in a sterilized jar, leaving some space at the top for the brine.
  • In a pot, combine the remaining ingredients and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally until the salt dissolves, which should take about a minute.
  • Once the brine is ready, pour it over the quail eggs in the jar, making sure they are completely submerged. Add any spices or herbs that you prefer.
  • Seal the jar tightly and place it in the refrigerator for a minimum of one week, allowing the flavors to infuse. Once the eggs have been pickled to your liking, they can be enjoyed as a snack or added to your favorite recipes.

Notes

  • Use fresh quail eggs: Fresh eggs are easier to peel and will yield better results when pickling.
  • Pierce the egg before boiling: To make peeling the eggs easier, use a pin or needle to pierce a small hole in the bottom of each egg before boiling.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: Overcooking the eggs can result in a rubbery texture. Boil them for approximately 4-5 minutes and then immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  • Use a sterilized jar: To prevent any bacteria growth, make sure to sterilize your jar by boiling it or running it through the dishwasher.
  • Allow the eggs to come to room temperature: Before pickling, let the eggs cool to room temperature to prevent the hot brine from cracking the jar.
  • Experiment with different spices: Feel free to mix and match spices to create your own unique flavor profile. Try adding bay leaves, dill, or red pepper flakes for an extra kick.
  • Let the flavors infuse: For the best results, allow the eggs to pickle for at least a week in the refrigerator before consuming.
