Cajun Pickled Egg Ingredients

• Eggs: Large eggs are ideal.
• Hot Sauce: For the most authentic cajun pickled eggs, use either Crystal Hot Sauce or Lousiana Hot Sauce, but any hot sauce will work great! I generally make these with Frank’s RedHot.
• Cajun seasoning: Either store-bought or a homemade mix.
• Vinegar: I like to use white vinegar for this recipe, but apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar and rice vinegar will also work.

How to Make Cajun Pickled Eggs

1. Make the Eggs. Throw your eggs in a small pot after the water is boiling for around 11 minutes or so, then peel.
   
2. Make the Cajun Brine. Bring the vinegar and hot sauce to a boil, then simmer until completely combined. Let cool for 30 minutes.
   
3. Combine Everything. Out the peeled hard-boiled eggs in a 32oz mason jar, pour the room temperature cajun brine over the eggs until they’re completely covered, sprinkling in the cajun seasoning as you go.
