How to Make Smoked Deviled Eggs

1. The first step is to make your hard boiled eggs on the smoker.
2. Place the eggs directly on the grates of your smoker. Close the lid of your smoker and smoke for 30 minutes at 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. Remove the cooked eggs from the smoker and place into an ice bath immediately. Chill completely.
4. Reduce heat on your smoker to 180 degrees Fahrenheit.
5. Peel the eggs and return them to the grill. Smoke for 30-45 minutes.
6. Now it’s time to make those Deviled Eggs!
7. Slice all eggs in half, then scoop out the yolks, placing the yolks in a mixing bowl.
8. Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy.
9. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the egg white. Sprinkle with smoked paprika or our favorite Sweet & Smoky Rub.
10. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

What wood chips to use to smoke eggs?

We recommend a mild flavored wood chip like alder or maple wood when smoking eggs. If you like a stronger taste, you would want to use a mesquite wood chip.

Can I make Smoked Deviled Eggs Ahead of Time?

We personally don’t recommend assembling these in advance. If you want to make them up in advance we recommend keeping your whites and filling separate. The day you want to enjoy them simply pipe the filling into the egg and serve.

Why are my hard-boiled eggs hard to peel?

Often times fresh eggs are more difficult to peel than eggs that are older. Purchasing the eggs a week ahead of time will make them easier to peel. Also, make sure to cool the eggs in an ice water bath after you cook them.

Can I peel hard boiled eggs the day before?

Absolutely! You can peel eggs three days ahead of time, giving you less to do the day you’re serving them. I wouldn’t assemble them day before. They are easy to make and best when they are fresh. You can make the filling ahead of time, but store it separately.

how long can smoked deviled eggs stay out of the refrigerator?

Deviled eggs should not be out of the fridge for more than two hours. Set them out to serve right before you need them and keep an eye on the clock.

If you know they will be out a little longer, you can fill a tray or casserole dish with ice and cool water and place your serving tray on top to keep the deviled eggs cool.

How to Store Smoked Deviled Eggs

Place any leftover eggs in an airtight container and place in the refrigerator. Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator two to three days.
