Traeger Smoked Deviled Eggs
Whip hard boiled egg yolks with savory spices & smoke them on the Traeger for a holiday appetizer that's finger-licking delicious.
Ingredients
- 12 Large Eggs
- 2 Whole Jalapeño
- 2 Slices Bacon
- 1/2 Cup Mayonnaise
- 2 Teaspoon White Vinegar Or Apple Cider Vinegar
- 2 Teaspoon Mustard
- 1/2 Teaspoon Chili Powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon Paprika
- 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 As Needed Paprika
- 2 Tablespoon Chives Chopped
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to boil, add eggs and cook for 9 minutes. Remove and rinse in cold water. Once cool enough to handle, peel the eggs and slice in half.
- When ready to cook, set grill temperature to 180℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.
- Place the eggs (yolk side up) and jalapeno peppers on the grill. Close the grill and allow to smoke for 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon until crispy. Allow to cool and chop until they become bits.
- Remove eggs and jalapenos from the Traeger.
- Slice top off the jalapenos, slice in half, remove seeds with a spoon and dice very finely.
- In a medium bowl carefully scoop the yolks out of the eggs. Add the jalapeno peppers, 1 tbsp bacon bits, mayo, vinegar, mustard, chili powder, paprika, and salt. Using a fork, mash the mixture together and taste for seasoning. Add more salt if needed.
- Using either a piping bag with your largest tip, or a teaspoon, fill each egg white with about 2-3 tsp of the yolk mixture.
- Top with a sprinkle of paprika and bacon bits and chopped chives. Enjoy!
Notes
I substituted Apple Cider Vinegar for the White Vinegar.
