How to Smoke Eggs

I have put two methods below on how to smoke eggs. Try both and let me know which one you love more!

FYI the second method is my favorite!

Note: I don’t usually just smoke eggs. If I am going to fire my grill, I try and do a few different things. No point wasting all the heat and fuel on one cook!

Method 1: Smoking Eggs in The Shell

1. Set up your smoker as per your instruction manual and preheat to 320°F.
2. Place eggs in the smoker and smoke for 10 – 15 minutes then turn them around and smoke for a further 15 minutes.
3. You can keep them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Method 2: Smoking Eggs in a Muffin Tin

1. Grab a muffin tin and crack them inside
2. Set your smoker to around 170 -180°F. As you know eggs take on any flavor, so I recommend using a hickory or cherry wood as they both go well together.
3. Now, place your muffin straight onto the grates and let them smoke for 30 – 35 minutes, you can go up to 50 minutes but I don’t enjoy the taste or texture after that. You might find the eggs go a bit rubbery after 40 minutes.

You will notice that your eggs start to turn a little bit yellow, this is normal so don’t worry.

The color will indicate how much smoke flavor they have taken on. Once your eggs are completely cooled use them how you please! One of my favorite ways is in a potato salad! Whenever I make them for a BBQ, I have people lining up to know my secret!

How do you store a smoked egg and how long will it stay good?

You can keep them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

How To Cook An Egg On Fire Embers

In the morning if you still have embers going from the fire, a nice easy breakfast is to cook your eggs buried in the embers. To ember roast eggs all you need to do is:

1. Simply bury your raw eggs in the hottest part of the embers, always use BBQ gloves for this!
2. You can always use the spin test to test when your eggs are cooked to your preference.
3. Peel & eat. My favorite way to eat them is sliced on some fire-toasted crusty toast.

How To Cook An Egg On the Grill

1. You can also grill eggs, personally, I love eggs cooked on the grill when we are out camping. It’s a nice change to hard-boiled eggs or fried eggs.
2. Place your grill grate over your heat source. I find a gentle campfire is perfect for this.
3. Place the raw eggs on the grill grate (shell still on).
4. Cook the eggs for around 3 minutes per egg side.

How Long To Boil An Egg

Boiling an egg is a simple task. However, there is a lot of debate over boiling times and when to place your eggs in the water.Personally, I think that the eggs should be placed in cold water, so the eggs are covered by about 1 inch of water.Set the cooked to medium-high heat and once the water has reached a steady simmer, start your timer.You want to maintain a steady simmer on your eggs, you don’t want a rough boil. This can crack your eggs and leave you with a right rubbery mess.

Soft boiled:Your egg white is cooked and solid, however, the yolk is very running. Perfect for dipping buttery toast ‘soldiers’ into. To eat eggs this way it is best to sit them in an egg cup and slice them open with the side of a teaspoon.

Medium boiled:As well as a cooked egg white, the yolk is solid. It should be moist but dense. Served best as above or cut in half on a salad.

Hard-boiled:Both the white and the yolk are completely solid. The yolk will be light yellow and crumbly. These work best as a snack on the run or in deviled eggs. Recipe Below.

See, eggs can be exciting and very, very tasty.I love leaving a bowl of smoked eggs in the refrigerator, they are the perfect snack.Do you have another way to jazz up eggs? Let me know in the comments below.Happy SmokingCharlie
