Smoked Hard-Boiled Eggs

These smoky delights add a unique twist to your traditional holiday spread, offering a rich, savory flavor that's sure to impress your guests.

Insider Tips

  • Try topping yours with tobiko, chives, bacon or other ingredients for your own delicious twist.
  • Smoked eggs can be made into deviled eggs.
  • To peel a hard-boiled egg: Gently tap large end of egg on countertop until shell is finely crackled. Start peeling at large end, holding egg under cold running water to help ease the shell off.

Storage

In the shell, hard-cooked eggs can be refrigerated safely up to one week. Refrigerate in their original carton to prevent odor absorption. Once peeled, eggs should be eaten within two days.
