SMOKED EGGS
This smoked egg recipe is incredibly easy. I learned it from a neighbor and it is a fun way to use up the extra space in your smoker grill. The eggs turn a lovely brown color and have a consistency similar to boiled eggs. The insides have a tinted brown color, too. Reduce cook time if you prefer a softer boiled egg.

COLD SMOKED EGGS
Cold Smoking hard boiled eggs will provide a nice smoke flavor and maintain the integrity of the egg. Hot smoking typically over cooks the eggs making them rubbery and dry. Best to team this up with cold smoking other foods such as salmon and bacon. Some people will soak the eggs in a brine or tea for additional flavor. Separate a portion of brine from other foods to avoid cross contamination. Smoked eggs can be used just like a plain old boild egg.

Steps:
- Hard Boil the eggs and soak in cold water immediately until cool enough to peel.
- If brining, put peeled eggs into a container and cover with brine for an hour or longer. I use a zip lock bag with the air sucked out to minimize the amount of liquid needed to surround the eggs.
- Place in smoker away from any heat source, best to keep the temp as low as possible.
- Remove after 3 hours or when they are slightly brown. Keeping them in longer will impart a stronger smoke flavor but the eggs will also dry out. You will need to experiment with timing to get your preferred flavor.
Tips for Cold-Smoking Eggs:
- Use the freshest eggs possible. Older eggs will not smoke as well and may have a higher risk of contamination.
- Wash the eggs thoroughly before smoking. This will help to remove any dirt or bacteria from the shells.
- Dry the eggs completely before smoking. Wet eggs will not smoke evenly and may cause the smoke to stick to the shells.
- Use a cold smoker. A cold smoker will produce smoke at a low temperature, which will help to gently cook the eggs without overcooking them.
- Experiment with different types of wood chips. Different types of wood chips will produce different flavors of smoke. Some popular choices for smoking eggs include oak, maple, and hickory.
- Smoke the eggs for at least 2 hours. The longer you smoke the eggs, the more flavor they will develop.
- Let the eggs cool completely before peeling and eating. This will help to prevent the eggs from breaking.
Conclusion:
Cold-smoked eggs are a delicious and versatile snack or appetizer. They can be enjoyed on their own, or used in a variety of dishes. The process of cold-smoking eggs is relatively simple, but it does require some time and patience. By following the tips in this article, you can create perfectly smoked eggs that will impress your friends and family.
