Ingredients

• 12 pieces Large eggs
• 2 cups White vinegar
• 1 cup Water
• 3 tablespoons Yellow mustard
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 2 teaspoons Mustard seeds
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, smashed
• 2 pieces Bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon Cracked black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Place eggs in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Cook for 10 minutes to hard boil the eggs.

Step 2

Drain and transfer the eggs to an ice bath. Let cool completely, about 10-15 minutes.

Step 3

Peel the eggs, ensuring the shells are removed entirely, and set them aside.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, combine white vinegar, water, yellow mustard, granulated sugar, salt, turmeric powder, mustard seeds, smashed garlic cloves, bay leaves, and cracked black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar and salt.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pickling liquid cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.

Step 6

In a large, clean glass jar or airtight container, layer the peeled eggs. Pour the cooled pickling liquid over the eggs, ensuring they are fully submerged.

Step 7

Seal the container tightly and refrigerate for at least 3 days to allow the flavors to develop. For the best taste, wait 1 to 2 weeks before consuming.

Step 8

Serve chilled. Mustard pickled eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
