🥫 Storage
Store the eggs tightly sealed container, or covered with plastic wrap, in the fridge for up to three days.
Deviled eggs do not freeze well!
📖 Variations
- If you love a more spicy flavor to your eggs, add more chipotle peppers.
- For a milder flavor reduce the number of peppers that you use.
- For a zesty tang, add a dash of apple cider vinegar or white vinegar.
- Some people prefer Miracle Whip over mayonnaise - you can substitute it in equal amounts.
- Green chiles can be added to the yolk mixture for even more Tex Mex flavor.
💭 Tips
Expert Tip: For easy to peel eggs, you can add ¼ teaspoon of baking soda to your water when hard boiling eggs.
- I like to use older eggs so that they peel easily. Learn more about how to hard boil eggs here.
- A trick to fill the eggs without much mess is to use a piping bag or a storage bag with the corner cut off.
- Garnish with fresh chives or green onions for color.
- The first time you do this you might want to do it under the fan on the stove or outside - until you learn to control the smoke. The first time I smoked deviled eggs with the smoke gun the inside got a little hazy!
👩🍳 FAQs
It takes about 5 to 10 minutes.
The temperature should be between 250°F and 275°F if you use an outdoor smoker. These are cold smoked so temperature isn't an issue.
I recommend hickory or mesquite wood chips.
Imagine your favorite deviled egg with a delicate smoky flavor like you've been eating near a campfire.
