Items You'll Need
Instructions
- Set pellet smoker to 225°F
- Place eggs upright in muffin tin (this keeps yolks centered during the cook) and smoke on pellet grill for 2 hours. Allow eggs to cool in fridge or in ice bath before peeling.
- Once cooled, Peel the eggs. Then using a sharp knife slice each egg in half, lengthwise.
- Gently remove the yolks and place in food processor. Arrange the egg white halves on a serving platter.
- In food processor add the cooked egg yolks, mayonnaise, cocktail sauce, horseradish, hot sauce and worcestershire sauce. Blend on high until creamy.
- On a shallow dish or plate add Old Bay seasoning and dip each cooked egg white half in seasoning then fill each half with prepared filling. (Tip: Use a decorative piping tip OR a Ziploc bag with the corner trimmed off and pipe filling into each egg for uniform looking eggs.)
- Garnish each egg with a celery matchstick, smoked bacon slice, and an olive or pickle slice.
- Enjoy!
