Smoked Deviled Eggs
Description
Smoked deviled eggs are creamy, savory, and packed with real wood-smoke flavor. The eggs get smoked before they're filled, so every bite has that deep, smoky taste all the way through. Easy, make-ahead, and perfect for cookouts, potlucks, and holidays.
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tsp yellow mustard
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, plus more for garnish
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Chopped chives, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat smoker to 225°F (107°C) with applewood, pecan, or hickory.
- Place peeled whole hard-boiled eggs on the grate and smoke for 30 minutes, until the whites turn light golden-tan.
- Cool 10 minutes, then halve lengthwise. Place whites on a platter; put yolks in a bowl.
- Mash yolks and mix with mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, smoked paprika, and garlic powder until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pipe or spoon filling into the whites.
- Dust with smoked paprika, garnish with chives, and chill at least 30 minutes before serving.
Equipment
- Smoker (pellet, electric, or charcoal)
- Wood chips or pellets (hickory, applewood, or pecan)
- Grill mat or wire rack — keeps the eggs from rolling on the grate
- Tongs — for moving eggs on and off the smoker
Notes
Notes: For stronger smoke, smoke up to 45 minutes. No smoker? Add a few drops of liquid smoke to the filling. Store covered in the fridge up to 3–4 days.
