Marinated Eggs, Your New Favorite Snack

The Perfect Savory Appetizer

The family I cook for introduced me to this Marinated Egg concept.

What’s not to love about hard boiled eggs soaked in soy sauce and other seasonings? I can’t think of anything.

And I’ve been thinking about it a lot because this summer has been my Summer of Egg.

What does that mean?

I’m glad you asked!

I have been obsessed with farm fresh eggs from the farmer’s market this summer so I decided to try something new with my eggs and put my own spin on the marinated eggs I devour at work.

This recipe is fairly simple, but it does require some special ingredients and some time. If you give it a shot these Marinated Eggs will be your new favorite snack.

Here is what you need to run out and get.

Ingredients:

• 1 C of Seasoned Rice Wine Vinegar
• 2 C of Good Quality Soy Sauce, I used Wan Ja Shan Soy Sauce
• 4 Cloves of Garlic, Crushed
• 6 to 8 Green Onions, Washed and Trimmed
• 1/4 C Brown Sugar or any sweetener of your choice
• 1 t of Dried Red Pepper Flakes
• 2 T Toasted Sesame Seeds
• 1 Dozen Eggs, hard boiled and peeled. I make mine in my Instant Pot because of how easily they peel.

You will also need 2 jars with tight fitting lids, large enough to fit 6 eggs in each. I use Weck Jars, they are my favorite.

Now just follow these easy steps.

Instructions:

1. Place 6 eggs in each jar.
2. Split the green onions between each jar and pack the onions between and around the eggs.
3. In a small saucepan, combine the rice wine vinegar, garlic, soy sauce, sesame seeds, brown sugar and red pepper flakes and whisk until the brown sugar is dissolved.
4. Pour the mixture over the eggs until they are covered.
5. If they are not covered you may need to add in some more soy sauce, which is fine.
6. Cover the jars tightly, give them a couple of turns, and place them in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours and a maximum of 2 days. The longer they sit, the better they are.

These eggs make a great snack if you are doing a keto or low carb plan.

They also make a delicious egg salad, breakfast, or salad topper for your lunch.

I like to top them with a dollop of good quality mayo, minced green onion, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. The eggs turn a lovely brown color on the outside while it maintains a cheerful yellow and white on the inside.

I think you will be thrilled with this delicious snack that gives you energy. I hope you enjoy!
