Pickled Eggs
April 11, 2010 | 
Author Pickled Eggs have always been a special snack treat in our house. I can’t remember the first time I ate one, but I am sure I was probably a toddler. I remember seeing them on the counter at Phillippes in downtown Los Angeles. My grandfather and my father would always order several, cut in half. I can’t say whether this recipe is Phillippes recipe or not, but I am sure it was my family’s attempt at recreating it. Enjoy them with a little salt and a cold one!
2 doz hard boiled eggs, peeled
1/2 box of pickling spices
1 pint Pickled Beets. (DelMonte in a jar preferred; I used Auntie Nellies here in the south.)
1 pint Heinz white vinegar
2 Tbs sugar
Fill a 3 quart pot with the above ingredients (not the eggs) and bring to a boil.
Put eggs in a large glass crock or jar. Pour the boiling liquid over the eggs.
Let pickle at least 12 hours before sampling. 24 hours preferred.
Here are the eggs right after I added the Pickling liquid.
Sample egg after 12 hours in the “sauce”. Still has a way to go, but tasted great!

Flying Eggs!!
Okay, enough about all these wonderful dishes you are posting. I want to let you in on my latest experiment. I am trying to get a really easy way to make a sort of soft boiled or poached egg. I noticed this cool egg cup in my cupboard, and decided to just crack a raw egg into it and cook it in the microwave. Some little angel whispered in my ear that it might be a good idea to cover the cup with a towel, just in case. I made a guess and put it in for 50 seconds. I was surprised by some really strange pops and other noises, and when I opened the door, the towel was off the eggcup, the egg was out of the eggcup and nestled in the towel, and and I enjoyed my very first over cooked microwaved soft-boiled flying egg! Next time maybe 30 seconds?? (Earned my nickname this time for sure).
