Step-by-Step Guide to Smoking Eggs on a Pellet Smoker
1. Preheat Your Pellet Smoker
Before placing your eggs in the smoker, preheat it to 225F. This temperature is ideal for smoking eggs without overcooking them.
2. Prepare the Eggs
You don't need to do much preparation for the eggs. Simply place them in the smoker directly from the refrigerator. You can also experiment by lightly cracking the shells for a more intense smoky flavor.
3. Place Eggs on Smoker
Arrange the eggs on the smoker grate, making sure they are evenly spaced for consistent smoking.
4. Smoke Eggs
Smoke the eggs for about 2 hours. During this time, the eggs will absorb the smoky flavor, leading to a delightful culinary treat.
5. Cool and Peel
Immediately after smoking, transfer the eggs to ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cool, peel the eggs carefully.
6. Serve and Enjoy
Enjoy your smoked eggs as they are, or add them to other dishes for a smoky twist!
