Cook the eggs on medium to high heat for about 12 minutes for well-cooked eggs. Adding half a teaspoon of baking soda while boiling can aid in easy peeling.
Once done, peel and set the eggs aside.
Prepare the brine
In a saucepan, combine water, vinegar, salt, and sugar.
Bring this mixture to a boil and cook until the sugar completely dissolves.
Set it aside to cool down to room temperature.
Arrange the eggs and jalapenos
In a mason jar, place half of the jalapeno slices at the bottom.
Stack the hard-boiled eggs on top until they fill about 80% of the jar's capacity.
Add the remaining jalapeno slices, coriander seeds, and bay leaves.
Pour in the cooled brine until the jar is about 95% full.
Close the lid, and place it in the refrigerator for at least 3 days to let the flavors infuse.
Enjoy as a delightful snack or toss it to your salad.
Notes
Adjust heat by removing jalapeño seeds and membranes for milder spice.
Enjoy pickled eggs as a snack, in salads, sandwiches, or on charcuterie boards.
Store in the refrigerator for up to four weeks; avoid freezing to maintain texture.
