Step-by-Step Guide to Making Beet Pickled Deviled Eggs
Preparing the Pickling Brine
The pickling brine is the foundation of this recipe, giving your eggs bold flavor and stunning pink color.
- Combine the Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the beet juice, vinegars, water, and brown sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Sometimes, my family also added some caraway seeds and bay leaves.
- Let it Cool: Once simmered, let the pickling liquid cool to room temperature. This step is crucial to ensure the eggs absorb the flavor without cooking further.
Pickling the Eggs
- Prepare the Eggs: Peel your hard-boiled eggs carefully to keep the surface smooth for an even dye.
- Submerge in the Brine: Place the peeled eggs in a large jar, ziplock bag, or airtight container and pour the cooled beet brine over them. Ensure the eggs are fully submerged.
- Refrigerate Overnight: For that signature bright pink color, refrigerate the eggs for at least 12 hours or overnight—the longer, the deeper the hue. The longer you pickle the firmer your eggs will be with the strongest pickled taste.
Making the Deviled Egg Filling
- Remove the Eggs: When ready to make, remove the eggs to a paper towel lined plate and dab the eggs to dry.
- Mash the Yolks: Slice the pickled eggs in half and gently scoop out the yolks into a food processor. Cut in half gently and remove the yolks to a food processor.
- Blend the Ingredients: Add the cream, mayo, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Process until thick and creamy. If it is too thick, add a bit more cream.
- Adjust to Taste: Taste the mixture and tweak the balance. Need more tang? Add lemon juice. Want a bit more kick? A dab of mustard will do.
Assembling the Beet Pickled Deviled Eggs
- Fill the Halves: Scoop the filling into a pastry bag, piping bag, or a small plastic bag with a snipped corner. Pipe the yolk mixture neatly into each egg white half in a swirl pattern.
- Add Finishing Touches: Garnish with your desired toppings and serve cold. I like to put different topping combinations on each egg so my guests can choose the toppings they like most. Arrange your beet pickled devilled eggs on a srving paltter and serve.

Tips for the Best Result
Choose Fresh Ingredient
- Fresh Beets or Beet Juice: Opt for fresh beets when making the brine. Their natural sweetness and vibrant pigment provide unbeatable color and flavor.
- Eggs: Use whole eggs that are as fresh as possible. Fresh eggs peel more cleanly and yield prettier results.
Master Your Hard-Boiling Technique
Perfectly hard-boiled eggs are the foundation of delicious deviled eggs. If you struggle with peeling eggs cleanly, follow these tips:
- Place your eggs in a large pot with enough water to cover them.
- Bring to a boil, put the lid on, and turn off the heat. Let it sit for 13 minutes.
- Transfer quickly to an ice bath to cool (water and ice in a large bowl). This makes the peeling process easier.

Pay Attention to the Pickling Time
Patience is key when pickling your eggs. For the best results:
- Let the eggs soak in the beet brine for at least 12 hours for a subtle color.
- Let them pickle for up to 24 hours for a more intense bright pink color.
The longer they soak, the richer the hue and the deeper the tangy flavor infusion.
Taste-Test the Filling
The yolk mixture is where you can let your creativity shine, but balance is everything. When mixing the deviled egg filling:
- Mash yolks thoroughly to avoid lumps.
- Add ingredients like sour cream or a splash of lemon juice gradually, tasting as you go. A little bit of mustard can also brighten the mix.
- Keep the filling creamy but not overly runny—it should hold its shape when piped into the egg whites.
Don’t hesitate to adjust the seasoning. It’s your dish, so let your taste preferences guide you!

Presentation Matters
Arrange the beet-pickled egg whites on a serving dish, spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into each one, and garnish with a sprinkle of chives or smoked paprika. This is the ultimate combination of delicious flavors and stunning presentation for a deviled egg lover. They’re an easy appetizer that’s also a great way to incorporate fresh veggies like bell pepper for garnish or serve alongside pita chips for added crunch. Garnish with fresh herbs like chives, radish, cucumber, or dill.

Health Benefits of Pickled Eggs
High in Protein for Sustained Energy
Eggs are well-known for being an excellent source of protein, and pickling them doesn’t diminish this benefit. A single egg provides around 6 grams of high-quality protein, essential for muscle repair, immune function, and keeping you full longer. Protein also stabilizes blood sugar levels, making a pickled egg the perfect snack for keeping hunger at bay.
Including foods rich in protein, such as pickled eggs, is also a smart way to power through busy days or enjoy a post-workout boost. Their balance of protein and fats helps to fuel energy without energy crashes caused by sugary snacks.
Gut Health Benefits from Pickling Brine
The pickling liquid used to preserve eggs often contains vinegar, a natural probiotic. Probiotics support gut health by encouraging the growth of healthy bacteria in the digestive system. A well-balanced gut is linked to better digestion, increased nutrient absorption, and improved mood.
Beets are also known for being prebiotic, feeding good gut bacteria, and working hand in hand with the pickling process to promote overall digestion.

Rich in Essential Nutrients
Eggs are already nutrient-dense, but when pickled, the pickling brine often brings its own benefits. Vinegar, spices, and sometimes herbs are typically found in the brine, providing added nutrients. For example, mustard or caraway seeds found in certain recipes can offer antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Beets are an especially great nutrient boost for beet-pickled eggs. They’re packed with antioxidants, vitamin C, and nitrates, which support heart health and may improve oxygen delivery to muscles. Combined with the calcium and selenium naturally found in eggs, you’ve got a snack that truly nourishes from the inside out.

Low-Calorie and High-Satiety Snack
One of the best things about pickled eggs? They’re filling without being calorie-dense. With each egg containing about 70 calories, they’re a healthy, portable snack that doesn’t compromise on flavor or nutrients. Plus, the combination of protein and fats helps you feel full longer, reducing the chances of mindless snacking throughout the day.
Consider replacing less nutrient-dense snacks with pickled eggs.

Storage
Store the eggs in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
Repurposing Leftovers
If you find yourself with leftovers, don’t let them go to waste! The filling makes a delicious dip for crunchy veggies or spreads beautifully on sandwiches. It’s also a fantastic addition to tuna salad or even as a base for an egg dip recipe. Store any extras in an airtight container in the fridge, and you’ll have a versatile snack ready for afternoon snacks or party preparations.
* Egg Salad: Chop up leftover eggs and mix them with a dollop of mayonnaise, some fresh herbs, and a squeeze of lemon juice for a delicious twist on classic egg salad.
- Pickled Garnish: Slice the eggs and use them as a colorful garnish for avocado toast, noodle bowls, or even salads. They add tang and a pop of color to any dish.
- Quick Brunch Side: For an aesthetically pleasing side dish, pair slices of beet pickled eggs with smoked salmon, crème fraîche, and dill.

Beet pickled deviled eggs transform the ordinary into something truly remarkable. Their bright pink color, tangy flavor, and creamy filling make them stand out for your taste buds and your table.
