This can be made on your smoker or Traeger pellet grill, and it makes for an awesome appetizer or side dish to serve.
Plus the presentation is stunning, so be prepared to get a few “ohhhhhhhhs” and “ahhhhhhhhs”!
How to make Smoked BBQ Pork Deviled Eggs
First we will hard boil some eggs.
I have smoked the eggs themselves before, but they were very hard to peel and not much smoked flavor.
So start with a dozen eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water.
Bring them to a boil, and once boiling reduce the heat to medium low for 10 minutes.
Then let them sit in the hot water for 45 minutes and peel them when they are still warm (this is my trick for easy peeling).
You could always add a few ice cubes after they have sat to cool them slightly.
Next stop is the smoker or pellet grill.
Set it to 180 degrees and let them smoke for 45 minutes to an hour.
While the eggs were on the smoker, I made a batch of Candied Jalapenos to top the eggs with.
This is optional, or you could even use regular pickled jalapenos.
But, the Candied Jalapeno recipe makes a ton and you will want to use them on everything!
You can even see the smoky flavor on the eggs, right?!
Now it’s time to make the deviled eggs 🙂
Toss a cup of leftover pulled pork with BBQ sauce.
Cut the eggs in half and put the yolks in a bowl.
Then add 1/2 cup mayo, 1/4 cup yellow mustard, kosher salt, pepper, and BBQ seasoning to the yolks.
And beat with a hand mixer for a minute or so.
Taste for seasoning and add more kosher salt, pepper, and BBQ seasoning if needed.
Then fill the egg whites with the deviled egg filling.
See, I told ya Smoked BBQ Pork Deviled Eggs make for a showstopping presentation 🙂
Top each egg with the sauced pork, a candied jalapeno, and more BBQ seasoning.
Of course you have to try one right away.
But you can refrigerate the rest until ready to serve.
