Steps:
- Bring the vinegar, 3/4 cup water, 3 tablespoons salt, the coriander seeds, mustard seeds, sugar, onions and chiles to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the salt and sugar. Reduce the heat, cover and let the brine simmer for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pierce each egg all the way through about 6 times with a cake tester or toothpick. Put 2 eggs in each of 3 glass pint jars with lids, and tuck the celery and dill in around them. Ladle in enough brine to cover the eggs, add 2 more eggs to each jar and ladle in more brine to cover, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top. Close the jars, let cool to room temperature and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving.
- To serve, halve or quarter the eggs, and spoon some pickling liquid and vegetables over the top. (The eggs will keep, covered by liquid and refrigerated, for up to 5 days.)

Steps:
- Place egg in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, and cool under cold running water. Once the eggs cool for a bit, roll the eggs back and forth on the counter to crush the shells, then return to the cold water for up to an hour. They will peel very easily then.
- Place the peeled eggs in a large bowl or large wide mouthed jar with a lid. Pour in the pickled beets and juice. Add onions if you are using. Let them set in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours - 2 days is best if you can wait that long. Turn jar or stir once or twice to be sure that the eggs are evenly colored. Slice eggs in half and arrange on a tray to serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality eggs. This will ensure that your pickled eggs have the best possible flavor and texture.
- Hard-boil the eggs perfectly. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery, while undercooked eggs may not be safe to eat. To ensure perfectly cooked eggs, place them in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-12 minutes. Immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Use a variety of pickling liquids. There are many different recipes for pickled eggs, each with its own unique flavor profile. Some popular pickling liquids include vinegar, brine, beet juice, and soy sauce. Experiment with different recipes to find your favorite.
- Add spices and herbs to the pickling liquid. This will give your pickled eggs extra flavor. Some common spices and herbs used in pickling eggs include garlic, dill, peppercorns, and bay leaves.
- Let the eggs pickle for at least two weeks. This will allow the flavors to develop fully. The longer you pickle the eggs, the more flavorful they will be.
- Store the pickled eggs in a cool, dark place. This will help them to keep their flavor and texture for up to six months.
