Ingredient Notes

How to make this recipe
- Preheat the smoker to 180F and place peeled hard boiled eggs on the grates of the smoker for 15-30 minutes. Note: the eggs may turn yellow the longer they smoke. This is normal.
- Cut the hard boiled eggs in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the yolks.
- Add the yolks, mayo, hot sauce, coconut aminos, dijon mustard, and onion to a food processor (or mix and mash with a fork) and process until smooth.
- Using a piping bag or a spoon, evenly divide the yolk filling between the egg whites.
- Top with chopped bacon and a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
How to make Hard Boiled Eggs
I have tried many methods to making and peeling hard boiled eggs and have found this way to be the most fool proof and least frustrating in peeling!
- Place 12 eggs in a saucepan and cover in water (water should be 1-2 inches above eggs)
- Place saucepan on burner over medium high heat, cover, and bring water to a boil.
- Turn off burner.
- Allow eggs to sit covered for 10-12 minutes.
- Drain hot water and rinse eggs in saucepan with cold water until cool to touch.
- Immediately peel eggs under cold running water.
How to Smoke Eggs
For this recipe I like to smoke pre-boiled eggs as it seems to give them the perfect amount of “smoke” flavor without being under cooked for deviled eggs. Simply peel the hard boiled eggs and place them on the grate of the smoker preheated to 180F (you can also use the “smoke” feature on a Traeger) for 15-30 minutes.
It is normal for the eggs to turn a yellow tint the longer they are on the smoker. I recommend not keeping them on the smoker longer than 30 minutes to prevent them from getting rubbery and the yolks drying out.
Recipe FAQ's
Because the eggs will absorb so much of the smoke flavor, mild flavored wood pellets like apple or cherry work great for this recipe!
