Smoked Brisket Deviled Eggs

16 Apr, 2025

Deviled Eggs were a staple for my family while I was growing up. Whether my Mom or Grandmothers were making them, I was eating as many as they would let me.

Smoked Brisket Deviled Eggs are my Texas BBQ twist on a southern classic. We start by boiling eggs just as you would do in the traditional method. However we remove the shells and smoke the eggs to get a great taste and color. Alternatively, you can simply smoke the eggs from their raw state, but it takes longer and I do not like the shape of the egg that you are left with so I landed on this method. We combine the yolks with some traditional deviled eggs accompaniments, and add smoked brisket. We add some Meat Church The Gospel BBQ rub instead of paprika and top them with our traditional pickled onions.

Garnish

Tool

Piping or ziplock bag

Prepare your smoker
Prepare your smoker at a temperature of 200 with super smoke. In this video we used a Traeger Ironwood with Meat Church pellets (oak\hickory), but hickory, pecan or fruit woods would also be a good choice. If you do not have super smoke, smoke the eggs at 225 on whatever type cooker you have.

Hard boil the eggs
Fill a medium pot half way with water. Bring to a boil. Carefully lower the eggs into the water making sure the eggs are covered by at least an inch of water. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 12 minutes.

Meanwhile prepare an ice bath.

Using a spider strainer, carefully remove the eggs from the water and submerge into the ice batch for 10 minutes which will help the shell separate from the egg.

Crack the shell and peel the egg under running water which also helps the shell separate easier.

Smoke the eggs
Place your eggs in the smoker.

Smoke for 1 hour until you have achieved your desired color.

Remove the eggs from the smoker.

Make the deviled egg mixture
Slice each egg in half.

Using a spoon, remove the yolks and place them into a medium bowl.

Place egg whites on a serving platter and set aside.

Break up the yolks with a fork or whisk. Add all of the ingredients into the bowl. Whisk to combine.

Place the mixture into a piping bag, pushing it down to the bottom and tie it off. Cut off the tip to squeeze out the mixture. Alternatively, you can use a ziplock back and cut the corner off of it.
