Smoky Deviled Eggs

[TedEbear]

I made my first batch of smoked deviled eggs today.  Judging by how quickly they disappeared from the platter I'd say they turned out very well. 



This is a modified version of a smoked deviled egg recipe that I found elsewhere.

Smoky Deviled Eggs

Ingredients:
12 hard boiled eggs, peeled
6 tablespoons real mayonnaise
6 teaspoons chives, diced
2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
2 dashes hot sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
4 tablespoons crispy crumbled bacon, about 3 slices (optional)
Paprika (optional)

Preparation:
Preheat your Bradley to 200*F. Use whatever wood flavor you prefer.  I used cherry.
Hard boil your eggs and peel the shells.
Place the whole eggs in your Bradley and smoke for 45 minutes. You can fry your crispy bacon now while waiting.
Remove from the smoker and allow the eggs to cool. Smoking your eggs will give them a slight tan color, but an intense smoky flavor.
Slice the eggs lengthwise and scoop the egg yolks directly into a gallon zip top bag. Add the mayo, chives, mustard, vinegar, hot sauce, and salt and pepper to the bag.
Seal the bag and, using your hands, knead all of the ingredients together in the bag until completely smooth. Squeeze the yolk mixture into one corner of the bag and then cut the corner off.
Pipe the yolk mixture into the whites. Sprinkle with the crumbled bacon and Paprika (if using) and chill until you are ready to serve.

They look good, sometimes I go so far as to cut the eggs in half before I smoke them so the yolks get a touch of the smoke also.
