How to make smoked eggs please.

Answer:-

This is a long process that starts with the selection of the eggs:-

Use white eggs
Use small eggs as these are likely to have a stronger shell

The first thing you need to do is boil the eggs without cracking the shell and cool them. Once cool, inspect the eggs for cracks and discard any where the shell has been broken. Of the remainder, leave them to refrigerate overnight.

Next day, you need to place the eggs in brine (8.65oz salt to one quart water or 272g to one liter) and leave the eggs to brine for 72 hours.

The next stage for producing smoked eggs is to dehydrate them. You can do this in your smoker or in an oven. Place the eggs in the oven for four hours at 140°F or 60°C and when the four hours are up and any moisture droplets have dispersed from the shell, then it's time to start smoking.

Set your smoker up at 195°F or 90°C and start smoking taking care to maintain this temperature for 5 or 6 hours. Turn the eggs every couple of hours to ensure even coloration and maintain tight control of the temperature (if you exceed 212°F or 100°C your eggs will explode).

Once the smoking process is complete, allow the eggs to cool and refrigerate for a day.

Please note that this is a really difficult process and takes about a week. If you get it right you will be rewarded but don't get frustrated if your first results aren't great. Practice makes perfect.
