Can an Egg absorb smoke flavor??

nrok2118 · 11-24-2010, 09:40 PM

I was thinking if I hard boiled an egg, de-shelled it put it on the smoker, would it absorb that "smoke flavor" ? Anyone have any experience/idea? Was brainstorming ideas with a buddy at work and thought if it would work I could smoke some eggs and make deviled eggs.

Search for a member named Phubar he made some smoked hard boiled eggs recently that looked delicious.

I've been thinking of doing a cold smoke with black tea for an Asian thousand year old egg type of appetizer.

Yep,Cold smoke.Soldering Iron and wood chips in a bean can.

If ya really wanna get there,cut em in half first.

And they come out looking like potatoes. That's freaking awesome!

I may try this. For Deviled Eggs I would boil them, shell them, cut them in half, remove the yolk and THEN smoke em. Then when you add the yolky mixture back in you would get a nice contrast in color between the brown/smoked egg 'white' and yellow yolk.

Put them on the grill, raw and in their shell, for about two and a half to three hours at 250, and you get a dark hard boiled egg. The smoke penetrates the shell. Make a sandwich with a little light mayo and you get a great smokey flavour.

Shiz-Nit · 01-07-2011, 11:45 PM

YES…. Per Adam Perry Lang in his book serious barbecue page 337… And I would have to say I agree with him. Boil the egg then roll the egg to crack the shell and smoke for 1 hour. It makes for great egg salad, deviled eggs or just breakfast.

Phubar · 01-08-2011, 04:17 AM

No need for pre-boiling Shiz.
Or is there a difference between both methods?
If the egg is cracked before you put it on the smoker it might give a nive pattern on the egg.

When I worked on the farm as a kid I collected eggs from some free range chickens.There had been a skunk out there and they smelled when we fried them,also had a funny taste.I'm thinking you could cold smoke a raw egg.
