Kirby's Cold Smoke Gen Eggs

NePaSmoKer · May 11, 2011, 06:26:39 PM

Had some pellets still in the cold smoke generator so i decided to use em on some eggs.

First i steamed the eggs. Steaming makes for a clean yolk. No gray around it like you get from broiling the egg.

While the eggs were steaming i made the pickle brine.

Here you can see the egg yolk after steaming.

I used the remainder of the pellets for about 23 mins of smoke on the peeled eggs.

After the smoke and the brine cooled i rinsed the eggs and used a fork to gently puncture the egg into the yolk, top.bottom and sides. This will let the pickle brine get to the yolk. I also added pickle spice, sugar, salt, jalapeno and some red pepper.

Put the jars in a bowl or cookie sheet so you can over fill the jar.

Yeah i know.

Growing up with mexican food i learned long ago that you need just a bit of heat but not so much as you cant taste the food.

I found 18 mins is just right.

I made another batch this morning for the smokeout.

The gray/green around the yolk is from over cooking, not the method. I regularly boil eggs to hard cook them and never have a problem with discoloration. Time depends on size of egg.

How long for the brine to soak into the egg?

Like a day.

With the fork holes the pickle liquid soaks right in.

So Rick the eggs could be eaten after one day in the brine and you dont have to wait for weeks? I was wondering if you would be willing to part with the brine recipe.
