Indulge in this tangy, flavorful treat that’s perfect for snacking or serving at gatherings! Here’s how to make your own pickled eggs and sausage at home:

Ingredients:

• 1 dozen eggs

• 1/2 cup cider vinegar

• 1/2 cup white vinegar

• 1 cup water

• 1/4 cup pickling salt

• 1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced

• 5-6 cloves garlic, minced

• 1/2 cup sugar

• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

• 1/4 teaspoon celery seeds

• 1/4 teaspoon mustard seeds

• 1 bay leaf

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 1 pound breakfast sausage (links or patties)

Directions:

1. Hard-boil the eggs:

   • Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil.

   • Gently add the eggs and boil for 10 minutes.

   • Transfer to an ice bath to cool, then peel and place in clean mason jars.

2. Prepare the brine:

   • In a saucepan, combine cider vinegar, white vinegar, water, pickling salt, onion, garlic, sugar, turmeric, celery seeds, mustard seeds, and bay leaf.

   • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

3. Pickle the eggs:

   • Carefully pour the hot brine over the eggs, filling the jars to the top.

   • Seal tightly and let sit at room temperature for 2 hours before refrigerating.

4. Cook the sausage:

   • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

   • Add the sausage and cook until golden brown and fully cooked.

5. Serve & enjoy!

   • Pair the tangy pickled eggs with the savory sausage for a delicious, bold-flavored snack or appetizer.

Tip: For best flavor, let the eggs pickle in the fridge for at least 24 hours before serving. The longer they sit, the more intense the taste!
