Pig & Nut Smoked Deviled Eggs

Smoked Sweet Heat Deviled Eggs

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp honey
• ½ tsp sweet heat rub (such as Fire for Effect)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Smoked paprika, for garnish
• Fresh chives, finely chopped, for garnish

Directions

1. Hard-boil the eggs: place them in a pot of cold water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath to cool.
2. Once cooled, peel the eggs and halve them lengthwise.
3. Remove the yolks and set them in a mixing bowl.
4. Make the filling: mash the yolks with a fork until finely crumbled. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, and sweet heat rub. Mix until smooth, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Fill the egg whites with the yolk mixture and top with fresh chives and smoked paprika.
6. Smoke the deviled eggs with your choice of Pig & Nut Premium Wood Chips using a smoke chamber. Experiment with the varieties to find your favorite—our original Pignut Hickory is an excellent choice.
7. Enjoy! Best paired with a smoked cocktail and good company.
