Barbecue, Breakfast

Smoked Deviled Eggs

When I told my wife I was going to make this, she kind of looked at me funny. She isn’t a big deviled egg person so I knew this was going to be a tough row to hoe if I was going to make a brunch item she would enjoy.

I don’t know if it was the silky smooth yolk that wasn’t overpowered by mustard or the Pig Candy that graced the top. It could have been the combination of that and the fact that they spent thirty minutes soaking up a rich layer of smoke on my Big Green Egg.

Let’s just say that I wish I had doubled the recipe. I now have to make them for every family get-together.

Ingredients

  • 8 Hard-Boiled Eggs, cooked and peeled

  • 3 Tbsp Mayonnaise

  • 3 tsp Chives, diced

  • 1 tsp Brown Mustard

  • 1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar

  • Dash of Hot Sauce (Franks, Tabasco, other)

  • Salt and Pepper, to taste

  • Paprika, for dusting

  • Pig Candy (or crumbled bacon)

Directions

  • Cook and peel eggs.
  • Bring your smoker to a temperature around 180-200℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes. Remember that good lump charcoal is the first ingredient. For those using a pellet grill use smoke or Super Smoke setting if available.
  • Place cooked and peeled eggs directly on the grill grate and smoke eggs for 30 minutes. Remove from grill and allow eggs to cool.
  • Slice the eggs lengthwise and remove and save the yolks.
  • I prefer to mix the ingredients in a bowl before putting it into a zip-top or pastry bag to create a nice smooth texture. Combine the yolks with the mayonnaise, chives, mustard, vinegar, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. When you are happy with the consistency move it to the bag.
  • Squeeze the yolk mixture into one corner of the bag and cut a small part of the corner off. Pipe the yolk mixture into the hard-boiled egg whites.
  • Top the deviled eggs with a generous piece of Pig Candy and paprika. Chill until ready to serve.
  • Congratulations! You are now the hero of every gathering.

Notes

  • *Cook times will vary depending on the smoker type and ambient temperatures.
