Instructions
- Make the pickling brine:
In a saucepan, combine beets (with juice), apple cider vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Bring to a simmer, stirring until sugar dissolves. Let cool completely. - Pickle the eggs:
Place peeled hard-boiled eggs in a jar or bowl. Pour cooled beet mixture over eggs until fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for 12–24 hours. - Prepare the eggs:
Remove eggs from brine and slice in half lengthwise. Gently scoop yolks into a bowl. - Make the filling:
Mash yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, pickle juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. - Fill the eggs:
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites. - Garnish and serve:
Top with olives, radishes, herbs, or paprika. Serve chilled.
Notes
- The longer the eggs sit in the beet brine, the deeper the pink color.
- Use slightly older eggs for easier peeling.
- For a smoother filling, use a hand mixer or food processor.
- These can be made ahead—assemble the day of serving for best texture.
