Grilled Eggs: Recipe shared via Barbecue! Bible

You Need:

Raw Eggs

 

 

Instructions:

“Place the raw egg in its shell on the grate over a gentle fire. Grill, turning with tongs, until the egg is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

In Vietnam, they roast eggs in the shell in this manner, then serve them peeled, quartered, and wrapped in lettuce leaves with chiles, mint, and bean sprouts.” ~ Steven Raichlen, BBQ Bible
