The perfect healthy snack or delicious appetizer for a crowd.

This year I hosted Easter for my whole family in my tiny apartment in NYC. I knew I could play around with the menu and make whatever felt good to me with the exception of two items that had to be there; my Mom’s homemade Paska (Easter bread) and pickled eggs.

Almost every single Easter morning, of my life, I have had a thick slice of fluffy, slightly sweet, raisin bread (Paska) with a generous smear of softened butter and a sprinkle of sea salt, accompanied by 1 or 2 perfectly pink pickled eggs (beet pickled), with another sprinkle of sea salt.

That is my Easter breakfast. I love it.

My mom brought the bread (she has yet to share the recipe for me to make it!) but I took over the pickled eggs.

My first time making pickled eggs and I only had to call Mom about 4 times for guidance.

I could have just served them sliced like Mom does.

Then I thought… wait a minute… what if those pickled eggs were deviled?!?!?

And here we are. Luscious gorgeous, once you pop you can’t stop, pickled deviled eggs.

Let me back up.

What is a pickled egg and why the heck do I eat them?

I asked my Mom where the recipe came from and she had no idea, her mom made pickled eggs, so she made pickled eggs. That’s how the story goes 😉

Pickled eggs were traditionally served as a bar snack, sometimes mustard pickled (giving the egg a yellow hue) or beet pickled (like these gorgeous pink babies). I assume they are of Eastern European origin, my Mom is Hungarian and Russian, but I honestly don’t know.

Wherever pickled eggs came from or how they became a tradition in my family is somewhat irrelevant. What is important? That you make these beauties and understand how crazy town delicious they are!

Slightly sweet and tart from the vinegar, then paired with a creamy deviled egg center. Seriously outrageously delicious.

Making pickled eggs is quite easy, I used canned beets because my Mom told me to. You can use fresh, but honestly organic canned (or jarred) beets makes this process super easy. Add pickling spice, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and peppercorns to the beets, one sliced red onion, and then your hard-boiled eggs. I used 1 dozen eggs in this recipe, my mom usually makes 3 dozen eggs. Allow the eggs to bathe in this pretty pink mixture for at least 24 hours.

Then simply turn them into deviled eggs. I keep my deviled egg recipe pretty basic, mayonnaise, salt and pepper and one secret ingredient that makes the fluffiest deviled egg center ever – butter. I know that sounds odd, but trust me, butter whipped into the egg yolks creates literally the best deviled egg ever.

So although Easter is behind us I would make these all spring and summer long. They are perfect for a party, bbq, or any celebration.

I was going to put this recipe in the archives and post it next year, but then a few of you reached out on Instagram (after my story about them) and asked for the recipe now, so here you go!

Ingredients

Pickled Eggs

  • 1 dozen hard boiled eggs
  • 2 cans organic sliced beets **See notes for fresh beet option**
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp whole black peppercorns
  • 4 tbsp pickling spice
  • 1 small red onion, sliced

Deviled Pickled Eggs

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • fresh chives

Instructions

  1. Combine all the liquid from canned or jarred beets (reserving the beets), apple cider vinegar, sugar, pickling spice, and black peppercorns to a medium saucepan. Bring to a slow simmer for 5 minutes, allowing all ingredients to combine. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

  2. Once beet liquid mixture is cool enough to touch add reserved sliced beets (I typically only use half of the beets and reserve the other half for a salad or other use), sliced onion, and peeled hard-boiled eggs.

  3. Transfer entire mixture to a large container (a mason jar or large glass bowl will do) and refrigerate for at least 24 hours or up to 7 days.

Deviled eggs

  1. Slice eggs and remove yolk. Combine yolk, mayonnaise, butter, salt and pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until well combined and fluffy.

  2. Fill egg halves with yolk mixture and top with sliced chives. Optional, you can also garnish with the pickled onions from the mixture.

Recipe Notes

  • To use fresh beets: Scrub 1lb fresh red beets, add to a pot and cover with water. Boil until tender, about 30-50 minutes (depending on size of beets). Remove beets from water and when cool enough to handle slice and reserve. Continue with recipe, do not throw away the beet cooking liquid, this will be your base for the pickled eggs.

  • I am putting all of you on notice for not telling me about skillet cookies! ⠀
.⠀
.⠀
.⠀
My life is forever changed. This bad boy is tahini chocolate chip - it’s flourless and the main ingredient is a revelation. 😉⠀
⠀
.⠀
.⠀
.⠀
You’ll definitely want to add some ice cream on top! And there is a tahini maple drizzle situation that is pretty epic. Full recipe linked in profile. 😎😎😎⠀

  • Last week I wasn’t feeling so hot, so I put on my cozies made a cup of tea and snuggled up in bed around 8pm. Within 10 minutes Jordan came in, sat in the chair by the bed, and started chatting me up. After about 30 minutes I looked at him and said, don’t you want to go make yourself dinner? Or watch a show? ⠀
No, he said, I just want to be in here and talk to you.⠀
After 16 years we are each others person in every way. He is the man I want to start and end my day with. He is the one I want to wander the world with.⠀
He puts up with my trash tv and quinoa salads and I put up with his shoot-em-ups and pasta obsession. @jordanschehrdesign 💗⠀
Happy Valentine’s Day Insta-fam. I hope you are filled with love today and always. ⠀

  • Remember that pound of hibiscus I accidentally bought? Did the same thing with chamomile. So... I’ll be putting chamomile in everything from now on. ⠀
Starting with gluten free chamomile cupcakes. Perfect for your love 💕 ⠀
Recipe 👇🏻👇🏻⠀
.⠀
.⠀
INGREDIENTS⠀
DRY INGREDIENTS⠀
1/2 cup coconut flour⠀
2 tbsp chamomile flowers, chopped (optional)⠀
1 tsp baking powder⠀
1/2 tsp sea salt⠀
WET INGREDIENTS⠀
1/2 cup unsalted butter (Vegan butter or coconut oil will also work)⠀
4 tbsp coconut milk⠀
3 tbsp dried chamomile (or 3 chamomile tea bags)⠀
2 tsp vanilla extract⠀
2/3 cup coconut palm sugar⠀
6 large eggs⠀
FROSTING⠀
Whipped Coconut Cream⠀
Drizzle Honey (optional)⠀
⠀
INSTRUCTIONS⠀
🌼Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with 10 paper cupcake liners.⠀
🌼In a medium bowl combine dry ingredients, whisk well to incorporate. (The chopped chamomile flowers are optional)⠀
🌼In a small saucepan over medium-low heat combine butter and coconut milk, when butter has melted add chamomile flowers or chamomile tea bags. Remove from heat and allow to steep for 10-15 minutes. If using loose chamomile flowers after 15 minutes strain mixture through a fine mesh strainer, into a large bowl (if using tea bags simply remove the tea bags and add mixture to a large bowl)⠀
🌼Whisk coconut palm sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract into butter chamomile mixture.⠀
🌼Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and whisk well to combine. Allow mixture to sit for 15 minutes so as to allow coconut flour to absorb some of the moisture.⠀
🌼Divide the batter among 10 liners filling to 3/4 full.⠀
🌼Bake the cupcakes in the center rack of the oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.⠀
🌼Allow cupcakes to cool in pan for 5-10 minutes. Turn them out of the pan and allow to cool completely on a rack before frosting.⠀
🌼Frost the cupcakes with your favorite frosting, I used homemade coconut cream frosting ⠀
🌼Optional: Top cupcakes with chamomile flowers and a drizzle of honey⠀

  • For the first 25 years of my life I thought all tacos were made of ground beef in a hard shell with shredded lettuce, cheese, and tomato. ⠀
.⠀
I grew up in Pennsylvania, it’s the states fault. ⠀
.⠀
.⠀
My taco education began when I moved to NYC, but truly only started 8 months ago in Mexico. I feel sorry for myself, all those years not knowing the deliciousness of this genius food. ⠀
.⠀
.⠀
I get it now and I have a lot of lost time to make up for. ⠀
