    Why This Recipe Works

    • Preboiling the eggs and then smoking them allows the smoky flavor to really penetrate.
    • Besides smoking, this recipe is based on my tried and true family recipe for easy-deviled eggs.
    • This recipe is super easy and delicious and I can't wait for you to try it!

    Common Ways to Make Smoked Deviled Eggs

    1. Hard "Boil" the Eggs in the Smoker: This method cooks the eggs in the smoker, then you peel the eggs and make deviled eggs as normal. The problem with this is the smoke doesnโ€™t penetrate the eggshell as much as we all would like and it takes a long time (45 minutes!) to just cook the eggs.
    2. Smoke Deviled Eggs After Making Them: This method is where you make deviled eggs like normal and then stick the deviled eggs into the smoker. The problem with this is that although you will get a nice smoky flavor, you risk drying out the yolk portion of the deviled egg.
    3. Smoke Peeled Hard Boiled Eggs: This third option is what I prefer. You hard boil the eggs like normal, peel them, then stick them in the smoker. The smoke will penetrate the egg nicely, then you make your deviled eggs with the smoked eggs.

    What You Need For Smoked Deviled Eggs

    • Eggs- I like to do at least a dozen but sometimes 14 just incase one or two don't peel well.
    • Dill- I love using fresh but you can use dried as well
    • Garnish- paprika and chives
    • Tools- Smoker or a Smoke Tube, Favorite Pellets or Wood Chips, and a fun Deviled Egg Tray!

    Variations

    • Additions: You can also add little pieces of bread, diced sweet pickles, or candied jalapenos, or make a smoked version of my Bacon Jalapeno Deviled Eggs.
    • Flavor: Need more smoky flavor add a little liquid smoke to the filling, use Smoked Paprika, or try smoking the deviled eggs after making them- just don't do it too long because it can dry out the deviled eggs.
    • Heat: Add red pepper flakes for a little extra spice!

    Expert Tips for Extra Smoky Eggs

    My smoker has a hard time staying at low temps and producing lots of smoke at those low temps.

    To get the extra smoke produced I light the chips directly on fire and then let them smolder.

    If the chips start burning up to quickly I will put them out and then the smoke from them will still do the trick.

    Alternatively you can use a smoke tube. These are super cool for getting lots of smoke without even using a smoker! Just fill with pellets, light, and enjoy lots of smoke!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How to Store Deviled Eggs?

    Ideally, deviled eggs are best eaten fresh but if you have leftovers, you can store them in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.

    What Is the Dark Ring Around the Cooked Egg Yolk?

    The dark ring typically means the yolk is over cooked, however, it doesn't affect the taste or texture of the deviled eggs once they are made.

    Can You Use Smoked Paprika On Deviled Eggs?

    Yes! This will give extra smoky flavor and paprika pairs well with deviled eggs!

    Prep Time: 5 minutes minutes
    Cook Time: 15 minutes minutes
    Smoking Time: 30 minutes minutes
    Course: Appetizer, Side Dish
    Cuisine: American
    Servings: 24 deviled eggs

    Ingredients

    • 12 eggs*
    • ยฝ cup mayonnaise
    • 2 tbs mustard*
    • ยฝ teaspoon lemon juice
    • 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon dill
    • Pinch of salt
    • Pinch of pepper
    • Paprika for garnish

    Instructions

    • Place eggs in a medium-large pot. Fill the pot with water so that the eggs are covered by about an inch of water. Bring water to a boil and let the eggs boil for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and place eggs in cold water adding ice if you have it. Let the eggs cool completely and then peel. See notes for instant pot instructions. *
      12 eggs*
    • Preheat the smoker to 180ยฐF with your favorite chips or pellets. Grease the rack with pam.
    • Once eggs are completely cooled peel and place on greased racks in the preheated smoker. Smoke for 30 minutes.
    • After 30 minutes remove from smoker and allow to cool. Then cut the eggs in half, separating the white from the yolk. In a medium-sized bowl mash all the yolks.
    • Add mayonnaise, mustard, and lemon juice to the mashed yolks and stir until creamy. If the mixture doesnโ€™t look fluffy enough you may need to add more mayo or mustard. Taste it and add more of what it needs. I usually start with adding a little more mayo if I need more volume.
      ยฝ cup mayonnaise, 2 tbs mustard*, ยฝ teaspoon lemon juice
    • Add the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, dill, salt, and pepper to the yolk and stir until fully combined. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 20 minutes.
      2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dill, Pinch of salt, Pinch of pepper
    • Put a dollop of the yolk mixture into each egg white sprinkle with paprika and minced chives and enjoy!

    Notes

    Tips and Tricks
    • *I usually like to hard-boil 14 eggs, that way if some donโ€™t peel nicely, I donโ€™t have to use them.
    • *How to hard boil eggs in an instant pot?
      If using an instant pot to hard boil the eggs, place the eggs on top of the trivet, add 1 cup of water, then set the instant pot to cook on High Pressure for 5 minutes, allow it to naturally release for 5 minutes, and then cool in an ice bath for 5 minutes. Allow eggs to cool completely before smoking them.
    • *You can use yellow or Dijon mustard- both work great!
    • *You can dollop the yolk mixture in with a spoon or use a piping bag and a fun tip to make them fancy.
