Ingredients for Smoked Deviled Eggs
Hard boil the eggs
Bring a pot of water to a boil, then add the eggs and cook them for 10 minutes. Drain the place eggs in an ice bath to cool them down quickly, then peel them under running cold water (this will make it easier).
How to Boil EASY TO PEEL Hard Boiled Eggs:
- The key is to start with eggs that are close to expiration date. These are the best eggs to use to hard boil.
- Fill a medium or large pot with enough water to cover eggs by at least 2 inches, but do not add eggs yet. Bring water to a rolling boil.
- Once water is boiling, add the eggs and adjust the temperature to maintain a rolling boil. Start a timer for 12 minutes and prepare an ice bath.
- When the timer goes off, remove eggs from the pot and immediately place into ice bath for at least 10 minutes before peeling. Peel eggs, and sit on a paper towel to absorb any moisture.
Cut the hard boiled eggs in half
To cut the eggs in half, run a knife around the edge of each egg. Gently crack open an egg and place it in a bowl. Use a spoon to scoop out all of the yolks into another bowl (you can also use your fingers).The yolks will be used for deviling later on so don’t worry about getting them too clean!
Scoop out the egg yolks
With a spoon, scoop out the yolks and place them on a parchment lined pan. Use a knife to cut the eggs in half. Be careful not to break the egg whites! Place the egg whites onto a serving plate, and put them in the fridge.
Get the wood chips ready for the grill
We used a gas grill for this recipe, but you can use your smoker, or charcoal grill. Western Premium BBQ has smoking wood chips for gas grills and smokers, and chunks for charcoal grills. For this recipe we used hickory chips on a gas grill. We think the sweet and strong hickory smoke flavor enhances these spicy deviled eggs! Place the hickory wood chips in a smoking container, or in a foil pouch with holes. Add them to your grill and give them a chance to start smoking. Be sure to have extra wood chips to add as needed.
Smoke the yolks
Smoking just the yolks and not the whites will allow for a smoky flavor, but still a bright white egg yolk for these smoked deviled eggs. Place the parchment lined pan with the yolks on the grill next to the smoke, and cover. Set a timer for 10 minutes. Check the eggs, and turn the pan. Smoke for another 10 minutes.
Create the filling for smoked deviled eggs
Allow the yolks to cool for about 10 minutes. Then mash with a fork. Add in the mayo, pickle juice, Dijon, hot sauce and salt & pepper, and mix. You can also use a hand mixer if you want to get it really smooth, but don’t overdo it!
Pipe in filling and garnish!
Place the filling into a piping bag with the tip of your choice. Set the plate of eggwhites out and pipe with the smoky filling. Garnish with smoked bacon candy and scallions. Now it is time to grab these smoked deviled eggs and start the party! Your guest will love them! These smoked deviled eggs did not last long at our house. We plan to make them for upcoming holidays and family get-togethers. We hope you give this recipe, and our other smoky, tasty recipes featuring Western Premium BBQ wood chips a try!
