Why I Love These Fermented Eggs
As the price of eggs (and everything for that matter) increases, I look for alternate ways to keep foods longer, like fermented eggs! Fermenting eggs is a great way to give them a longer fridge life.
With only 4 total ingredients, you can’t go wrong. In this post, I’ll share how to make fermented eggs and ways to make them your own!
Easy Fermented Eggs
I learned about fermented eggs during Fermented February. One of the participants mentioned you could ferment eggs, so I headed to her blog for the “how to”.
Fermented eggs couldn’t be easier – start with hard-boiled eggs. While your eggs boil, think about the flavors you’d like to use. I did a “classic” using dill. You can add all sorts of herbs & spices. I think a spicy egg with cayenne pepper would be delicious.
I’ve also seen recipes for pink or purple eggs – I’ll be trying those very soon! One thing to note is that these eggs are on the salty side. Keep that in mind as you think about the spices you use as well as the way you will use these eggs.

Flavor Options For Fermented Eggs
Wondering what other flavors of fermented eggs you can make? Besides colored eggs (made using beet ferment), you can experiment with other flavors. I’ve included a list of flavors you can try!
Garlic, 1 clove
Onion, 1 boiler onion
Peppercorn, 1/2 Tablespoon
Jalapeno Pepper, 1/4 pepper
Rosemary, 2-3 sprigs
Regarding the amounts of each, I would start with the above recommendations for 3 eggs, and of course, add more if you make more eggs. Try making your own mix of herbs & spices – have fun making your own blend.
