Alligator Eggs
Let me tell you, my husband and I really like pickled eggs! I have always turned my nose up to the pink ones sitting on the shelf at our local grocers. Dear likes them! Ugh… those make me green when I look at them. (Even though I don't eat them.)
Until last year, I have never tried much less made pickled eggs. Homemade pickled eggs are what my hubby requested as an anniversary gift to him. I found this recipe for Sriracha Pickled Eggs and made them! I have been making them by the dozens ever since; we cannot get enough of them! The only thing that I tweak is that I add some smashed, fresh garlic cloves. We really like to punch up that GARLIC flavor. I'm kind of famous in the trailerhood for my sriracha pickled eggs. ;)
"I SAW THIS THING ON PINTEREST…"
Over on the Florassippi Girl's blog, she has made what is called Alligator Eggs. Cajun Pickled CHICKEN eggs. The alligator is just a cute name, since it's Cajun inspired. ;) Here is the link to her recipe. Being from Louisiana, crawfish powder boil is a staple pantry ingredient in my house/trailer. I followed her recipe minus the red pepper flakes. I just didn't have any on hand.
HERE THEY ARE! MY GLORIOUS CAJUN PICKLED EGGS!
Thank you Samantha over at the Florassippi Girl blog for posting this awesome recipe!
I couldn't wait a week to let them marinate. I ate one within 24 hours of making them!
THEY ARE SO GOOD!!!! I WILL BE MAKING MORE TODAY!
If you have a pressure cooker, (this is the one I have) hard boil your eggs in it!
- Place steamer rack in the pot.
- Pour 1 Cup of cold water in the pot.
- Place as many eggs as you want on the steamer rack.
- Place the lid and lock it.
- Make sure the vent is set to SEALED.
- Press the MANUAL button
- Adjust the pressure to LOW and time to 6 minutes.
- When it's done, let the pressure release naturally for 5 min then QR.
I hope you try these eggs, and come back to leave a comment! I have some friends that raise chickens that will enjoy a new way to use their eggs. :)
Y'all come back!

I need a pressure cooker so badly! I'm not a fan of pickled eggs, but Rod may like these!
