The act of infusing eggs with smoky flavor using a smoker is a method that enhances their taste profile significantly. This involves exposing shelled or peeled, hard-boiled eggs to a controlled environment of smoke generated by wood or wood pellets, altering their characteristic taste and aroma.
This process offers a distinctive culinary experience, adding depth and complexity to a common food item. The resulting smoky flavor complements various dishes, from salads and deviled eggs to breakfast plates and snack platters. Historically, smoking has been a preservation technique, but in this application, it primarily serves to impart flavor.
