Smoked Eggs???

[eyeguy 54]

I slow boil for 8 minutes then i let em sit about 5 minutes. then i pour the water off and run cold on the for a while and let it sit another 5 or 10 minutes. Then I smash em and peel em. :>) once in a while I get that rebel egg that doesnt peel good.

I have the same method prepping the eggs, before I peel them I put a little pressure on them and roll them back and forth a couple of times with my palm on the counter and that usually does it. I also add a touch of oil to the water as they are boiling.

never thought of smoking eggs, those look dynamite.

[reinhard1]

i'll have to try that. i have mixed results almost everytime. i bought my daughters that "as seen on TV" perfect boiled egg thing. i'll have to ask them how it worked. good luck.

I do basically the same thing. One other factor is how fresh they are. My wife now gets eggs from a coworker who raises hens. They are by far the easiest eggs to peel. Litteraly they come of in two halves.

Cool - Haven't been this pumped about doing eggs in a long....................I mean, ever.

[HARDTIMES]

Some times i soak mine in a ham brine for awhile then smoke them. Not to long or they get to salty.

How To Boil An Egg (Don't Skip This Part!!!)

Think you know how to boil an egg? Think again! Even the most famous cookbooks (including The Joy of Cooking) have it all wrong. They tell you to cover the eggs with cold water.

This is all wrong. Bring your water to a boil FIRST, then add your eggs. The easiest way to do this is to use a soup spoon -- put the egg into the spoon, then lower it carefully into the boiling water.

Make sure your eggs are at room temperature. Otherwise, the shell will split once you lower them into the boiling water, and you'll have eggwhite leaking from the shell.

Why boil the water first? Because when you put your eggs into boiling water, the hot water will cause the interior of the egg to shrink away from the shell, which makes it really easy to peel.

And isn't peeling boiled eggs the hardest part? Now you know how to boil an egg -- and peel it with ease -- every time!

For boiling 10 eggs: after you bring a large pot of water to boil, lower your eggs into it using a soup spoon. Then set your kitchen timer for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in the water for 5 minutes. Then pour off the hot water and add COLD WATER to cover the eggs.

After a few minutes, pour off this water and add more cold water. In about 8 minutes your eggs will be cool enough to handle, and they'll peel perfectly every time.

[otterman91105]

[eyeguy 54]

bring em here if you don't like em. :>)

[otterman91105]

I ended up smoking with cherry wood. My wife didn't care for them at all said they took away from the deviled egg taste to much. I thought they were alright. Going to try pork next, maybe next weekend.

[eyeguy 54]

Deviled smoked eggs for breakfast today with my son in law. Good way to start the day.

[bak2MN]

Or leave them in the shell til tomorrow then peel?

[eyeguy 54]

[bak2MN]

Also did some baby backs for supper and ooooooooooo sooooooooooo gooooooooooooooooood. Thanks everyone for all the info that gts put out here on these threads. GOOD EATS!!!

[eyeguy 54]

[pikestabber]

Two recipes that keep floating around here are smoked eggs and smoked fatties. I tried both yesterday and they got done just in time for kickoff. What a hit! Especially the smoked eggs...fantastic! I sliced up the fatties and had breakfast sandwiches with them this AM. I will definitely be doing both again.

Well, I won't hard boil eggs any other way anymore. This was the easiest the shells have ever came off. Threw them in the smoker for egg salad sandwiches tomorrow.

Smoked Egg Salad Sandwiches

8 hard-cooked smoked eggs, peeled and chopped

1/4 cup plus 2 tabl mayonnaise (Miracle Whip)

1/4 cup sour cream

1/8 teaspoon paprika

2 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon prepared horseradish

1 tablespoon chopped onion

1 tablespoon fine chopped celery (optional)

3 tablespoons real bacon bits

salt and pepper to taste

This was the first time I tried this and it turned out good. Be sure to let it sit overnight in the fridge - was better the next day after the flavors blended together. Used fresh baked Coburns Vienna Bread.

[otterman91105]

Sound good i bet the smoke flavor give's the egg salad good flavor.

[DonBo]

I tossed one hardboiled egg in with some venison I was smoking this weekend. It turned out kind of rubbery, probably left it in too long at too high a temp, but the egg salad recipe here sound great. Next time...

[hockeybc69]

Yep, go to long or too high and they get rubbery.
