Smoked Hard Boiled Eggs
When Jason told me he was going to smoke eggs I raised my eyebrows a little bit.
He assured me they would be delicious and he was planning on making them into Smoked Deviled Eggs.
He LOVES Deviled Eggs, but so do I was so I was on board with this.
Honestly, making smoked eggs is super easy and totally worth it. I may or may not have stole one before he made them into Deviled Eggs and they were amazing.
Plus, the flavor gets better after sitting in the fridge! I love things that get better with age. Just like me!

Why make Smoked Eggs?
It’s all about the flavor. The longer you cook the eggs, the more smoke flavor is imparted into the eggs. They taste delicious and it’s definitely a new recipe you have to try!
Smoked eggs are perfect for Easter! I love the new flavor this gives an egg and I think you will too!
Why do you place the eggs directly in an ice bath?
Placing the eggs in the ice bath will make them easier to peel. One of the biggest complaints about smoked eggs is they are difficult to peel. This little trick will make it easier!
Something else to keep in mind is that extremely fresh hard-boiled eggs are difficult to peel. The shell doesn’t cleanly and picking off part of the shell leaving gouges on the surface of the egg. But as eggs grow older, their shells peel more easily.

Hi
I didn’t see this anywhere in the script.
Are the eggs raw when first put in the smoker?
Thanks for any help and advise.
They are raw when you first put them on the smoker!
Deviled eggs are delicious, so I can only imagine how yummy these are!
They are amazing!

Smoking eggs is genius! I love the idea of making them into smoked deviled eggs, can’t wait to give this a try!
You will love them!
Totally a fun and delicious twist for deviled eggs!
I’ll never eat a hard boiled egg another way!
Have you tried smoking quail eggs? Or duck eggs? Any advice on smoking times for those? I literally want to try this on every egg possible, it sounds so awesome!!!
Hey Liz! So sorry I have not!
This sounds AMAZING!! I’ve never thought of smoking eggs!!! These will be the best deviled eggs ever!!
They make the best Deviled Eggs ever you are right!
What the what? Now I’ve seen everything! I swear, you are the queen of the smoker! You should write a smoker cookbook!
Haha! I’ll just keep teasing you with content here!
Tried this for the first time on my BGE. I put the eggs in an ice bath and when I peeled they were very difficult to peel. Lots of tiny pieces and the eggs fell apart – looked awful. Determined to see it through. It took about an hour to get the BGE down to 175. Ok to cook 1st 30 minutes on gas grill then smoke on BGE?
That is so frustrating. Make sure to start with eggs that are a few days old and make sure they are completely cold when you try to peel them. Also, I roll mine on the counter with my palm to create cracks all over. I would think you could grill them first, but I might try indirect heat?
