How to Make Keto-Smoked Deviled Eggs
Let me walk you through the step-by-step process of making Keto Smoked Deviled Eggs, from hard-boiling the eggs to smoking them, to preparing the deviled egg filling. This recipe is easy to follow and is sure to impress your friends and family.
Let’s get started!
SMOKE THE EGGS
The first thing to do is to boil the eggs.
I have just discovered that you can boil eggs in the InstantPot – this is a game-changer! It’s more hands-off, and the shells slide right off. Perfect hard-boiled eggs achieved!
Cool hard-boiled eggs in cold water and then peel.
The smoker is the ‘magic step’ in this recipe. While not required, it really brings out the smoky flavors.
Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees F.
Place eggs on a lightly oiled wire rack placed over an aluminum foil pan filled with ice.
Place in the smoker and smoke the eggs for 20 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove smoked eggs from the smoker and cool them down.
We have a Traeger and we love it.
It’s a grill and smoker in one and we use it all the time! In addition to eggs and wings, we’ve smoked BBQ ribs, brisket, chicken, salmon, Pork Roast, and Ribeyes.
You can do so much with it and it’s the best investment ever. Get one and then come back and make all of my Keto BBQ Recipes. You will LOOVVVEE doing Keto with this thing.
FILL THE EGGS
Cut the eggs in half, lengthwise. Pop out the egg yolks and place them in a food processor.
Add the Primal Kitchen Mayo, mustard, Tabasco, and Worcestershire sauce. Spoon the egg yolk mixture back into the egg white halves or pipe it in with a Ziploc or pastry bag.
add toppings
Top with desired toppings.
What makes these smoked deviled eggs special is the extra addition of crispy bacon and tender pulled pork.
