It may be hard to understand, but these taste better than it looks

As we all transition to a healthier lifestyle in our day to day lives, it's crucial to incorporate small changes that add up to make a huge difference. One such change that I have made in my diet is swapping out unhealthy snacks for more wholesome alternatives. Mustard pickled eggs have been an absolute game-changer for me. It's a great way to snack on something that's fulfilling and has a lot of flavor without having to compromise on health.

I first came across this recipe when I was at a friend's house, and they offered me a jar of these eggs. I was initially skeptical, as I had never heard of this before, and I cannot handle spicy food too well. However, I gave it a shot, and it was love at first bite. The eggs were perfectly pickled, and the hint of mustard gave the dish a great zing without being too overpowering. I ended up finishing the entire jar on my own, and I knew I had to learn to make it.

Ingredients:

- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons mustard seeds
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1/2 tablespoon black pepper
- 2 bay leaves
- 1/2 tablespoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 medium-sized onion, thinly sliced (optional)

Directions:

1. Boil the eggs for 9-11 minutes (until hard-boiled).

2. Remove the eggs from the pot and transfer them to an ice bath, then peel the shells off.

3. In a saucepan, bring the vinegar, water, honey, mustard seeds, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes and bay leaves to a boil.

4. Reduce the heat and let it simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.

5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool.

6. Add the sliced onions and the boiled eggs to the mixture, making sure the eggs are fully submerged.

7. Seal the jar tightly and let it sit in the fridge for at least 24 hours to pickle properly.

8. Serve the mustard pickled eggs directly from the jar or slice them into halves or quarters.

Enjoy these delicious mustard pickled eggs in a jar on the go, as a mid-day snack or along with a slice of whole-grain bread as a healthy breakfast option.
