Instructions
- In a pot over medium heat, combine water and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring until salt is completely dissolved.
- Remove from heat and allow to fully cool.
- Place eggs in a large container. Add the brining solution, making sure the eggs are fully submerged.
- Weigh down with a small plate or a plastic bag filled with water. Cover and keep in a cool, dry place for about 18 to 21 days.
- Drain eggs from the solution.
- In a pot, place eggs and enough water to cover. Over medium heat, bring to a boil, uncovered, for about 20 to 25 minutes or until hard-boiled.
- Drain eggs and allow to cool. Store in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Check the eggs to ensure the shells are intact and have no cracks.
- Allow the brine to fully cool before adding the eggs, lest they cook in the residual heat.
- Do not overpack the container to prevent breakage, and ensure eggs are completely submerged in the solution.
- Weigh the eggs down by placing a small plate or a plastic bag filled with water on top to keep them from floating.
- To dye the eggs, add a few drops of red food color and a couple of tablespoons of vinegar to the boiling water used to cook the eggs.
