Pickled Eggs and Sausage is a savory and tangy treat that combines the richness of hard-boiled eggs with the smokiness of sausage and the kick of a flavorful pickling brine. This dish is perfect for snacking, as an appetizer, or as a fun addition to charcuterie boards!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
  • 1 pound sausage of your choice (such as kielbasa or smoked sausage), sliced
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Pickling Liquid:
    In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, sugar, salt, black peppercorns, mustard seeds, and red pepper flakes (if using).
    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Assemble the Jar:
    Place the peeled hard-boiled eggs, sliced sausage, and thinly sliced onion into a clean glass jar or container with a lid.
  • Add the Pickling Liquid:
    Carefully pour the hot vinegar mixture over the eggs, sausage, and onions, ensuring that everything is fully submerged.
  • Cool and Refrigerate:
    Allow the pickling liquid to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover the jar and place it in the refrigerator. Let it pickle for at least 24 hours before serving, for the best flavor.

Notes

  • The longer the eggs and sausage sit in the pickling liquid, the more flavorful they become.
  • This recipe can be customized by adjusting the amount of red pepper flakes or adding extra spices like garlic or bay leaves.
  • The pickled eggs and sausage can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks.
