The Ingredients

Eggs. You can use organic, free-range, cage-free, or even processed eggs (like this Cajun deviled eggs recipe). But my recommendation would be organic eggs. Since we are preserving and planning to store for a longer time, it is always better to use home-cooked hard-boiled eggs to avoid contamination.
Jalapeno. The purpose of adding Jalapenos to this recipe is to bring out the beautiful flavors and to add heat. Fresh jalapenos and roasted jalapenos are equally good.
Coriander seeds. A few tablespoons of coriander powder gives the jalapeno pickled eggs a pleasant flavor and amplifies the tangy sweetness.
Bay leaves neutralize all the sharp flavors and make all the difference. It's warm and cozy, making every bite pleasant.
Vinegar, the preserving ingredient, also adds a beautiful tanginess to the pickled jalapeno eggs. The vinegar's flavor will not be overpowering, as we are going to tame it down with an equal amount of water.

You may add half a teaspoon of baking soda while boiling the eggs for easy peeling. Remove the shells and keep them ready.

The brine. In a saucepan, add water, vinegar, salt, and sugar. Bring it to a boil and cook until the sugar dissolves. Set them aside and allow them to reach room temperature.

Now add the remaining jalapeno slices, coriander seeds, and bay leaves. Directly pour in the brine to 95% of the jar’s capacity. And seal it with a lid.
