Smoked egg

Hi there! Do you like eggs? Have you ever heard of a smoked egg? Well, let me explain!

When we say "smoked egg," we're talking about a regular egg that has been cooked in a special way called smoking. Smoking is when we cook something with heat and smoke from burning wood or other materials.

To make a smoked egg, we start by boiling the egg until it's firm. Then we put the egg in a smoker, which is a special machine that lets us cook food with smoke. The smoker heats up and smoke fills the chamber. The egg stays in there for a few hours, absorbing the smoky flavor.

After it's done smoking, we take the egg out and peel it. You might notice that the egg now has a brownish color from the smoke. When we bite into it, it has a smoky taste that's different from a regular boiled egg. Some people think it's really tasty!

So there you have it, a smoked egg is just a regular boiled egg that has been cooked with smoke to give it a unique flavor. Give it a try sometime!
