Delicious Mom’s Pickled Eggs. This recipe is so quick and easy to make! A great low calorie, low carb snack.
Family recipes are very treasured keepsakes, and Mom’s Pickled Eggs recipe is no exception. Old recipes bring back many fond memories of Moms, Grandmas, and Aunties. My husband’s Mom left him with some very fond memories through the many recipes she made with a lot of love. I was not fortunate enough to have met my mother-in-law as she had passed away before I met my husband, but through stories shared by my sister-in-law, husband, and father-in-law I have gotten to know and love her. This recipe for Mom’s Pickled Eggs is one my husband raves about all the time, so it was time to give it a try. They were amazing, with a great pickled zing. The only mistake I made was not making more!

Love this recipe! I put my pickling spice and dry mustard and a dash of dill and celery seed tied up in a small piece of cheese cloth. And let the bay leaf float.
DELISH!!!
Thank you Lynn, you can’t beat a great pickled egg for snacking on!
When u say dry mustard. Is that the seed or powder stuff in the spice section??
Aw, the powdered stuff in the spice section.
Is there a specific brand of pickling spice that you’d recommend?
Hi JT, I have used McCormick and like the mixture.
I bet these would be a great addition to green salads. Have you used them this way?
Never thought of that Barbara, I am going to try it!
