Pink eggs: Pour beet juice into a 500ml airtight container such as a Mason jar. Add the 6 hard-boiled eggs.
Yellow eggs: Fill a 500ml airtight container such as a Mason jar with white vinegar, turmeric and black peppercorns. Add the 6 hard-boiled eggs.
Green eggs: In a blender, add the juice from one jar of garlic pickles (without the pickles) and the raw spinach. Pulse until you obtain a smooth texture. Pour the pickle juice and spinach mixture into a 500ml airtight container such as a Mason jar. Add the 6 hard-boiled eggs. Remove foam from the top.
Cover and refrigerate the jars for at least 3 hours, or until the eggs reach the desired colour.
Store the pickled eggs in the refrigerator and enjoy within 7 to 10 days.
Tips
The flavour and colour will be stronger if you let the eggs marinate for 24 hours.
Eat eggs on their own as a snack, or in a salad. They’re a great way to add colour, protein and extra nutrients to your dish!
Tips: Storing Leftovers
Did you know, leftover omelets, quiches and frittatas freeze well and can be quickly reheated in the microwave for a speedy breakfast, lunch or supper.
