Description

Bold, garlicky, and perfectly spicy, these Hot & Spicy Garlic Pickled Eggs are a high-protein snack made with simple pantry ingredients.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 duck eggs
  • 8 chicken eggs
  • 34 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 12 tbsp crushed red pepper flakes

  • 1 tbsp salt

Instructions

  1. Boil duck and chicken eggs until hard-cooked (9–12 minutes). Transfer to ice bath, peel when cooled.
