These Spicy Cajun Pickled Quail Eggs are a flavor explosion in every bite. Perfect as a zesty appetizer or a unique addition to your charcuterie board, these pickled eggs pack a punch of cajun spice and tangy vinegar.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Pickled Eggs:

  • 36 boiled and peeled quail eggs
  • 2 tbsp cajun spice
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp pickling and canning salt (optional)
  • 1 small to medium jalapeno, thinly sliced
  • 23 cloves fresh garlic
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup distilled white vinegar

Instructions

  1. For the Brine: Combine vinegar, water, Cajun spice, and optional salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. Layering Eggs: Add a layer of boiled & peeled eggs to a quart jar. Continue layering eggs, alternating with jalapenos and garlic.
  3. Pickling Process: Once the brine has cooled, pour it over the eggs, ensuring they are all submerged. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate. Allow 2-3 days for the eggs to soak up the flavors.

Notes

  • For easy peeling, use fresh eggs that are at least a week old.
  • Adjust the spice level by adding more or fewer jalapenos.
  • The longer the eggs sit in the brine, the more flavorful they will become.
