Old Scout trick I've taught to dozens of leaders-
- whittle a green stick (2' long) down to the size of a kitchen match (or a little larger) for about 4"
- sharpen the end
- poke a hole as you describe
- keep pushing the stick through the length of the egg and out the other end (BE CAREFUL!)
- if done carefully you can now "roast" the egg over a small fire like a marshmallow!

It works!
