Ingredients

• Pickled eggs:
• 1 1/2 cups red wine vinegar
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 large shallots, sliced into rounds
• 4 fresh thyme sprigs
• 4 whole cloves
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Combine vinegar, 1/2 cup water, shallots, thyme sprigs, cloves, bay leaf, salt, and sugar in medium saucepan; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer pickling mixture 15 minutes to allow flavors to blend. Remove mixture from heat and cool to room temperature.

Pierce hard-boiled eggs all over with thin skewer or fork to depth of 1/2 inch. Place eggs in 1-quart glass jar or medium bowl. Pour pickling mixture over eggs; cover and refrigerate overnight.

DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.
