BBQ Deviled Eggs

I’m always on the lookout for recipes that call for leftover pulled pork. I smoke a lot of pork, always making more than I need because I love it on more than just sandwiches. And boy oh boy, these BBQ deviled eggs are ‘da bomb’. They aren’t just hard boiled eggs topped with BBQ sauce-laden pork. Oh no. They bring it with a little vinegar kick, a little smoke and a little heat. Each bite is truly fantastic.

BBQ Deviled Eggs


You can make BBQ deviled eggs using any leftover smoked meat, be it pork, chicken or beef. Make sure you chop or shred it small. You don’t want the meat to drown out the other flavors.

I absolutely stink (best word I could think of) when it comes to making boiled eggs. Hard or soft, doesn’t matter. I am egg challenged. So I picked up a little cheap egg cooker like the one below. This lil baby cranks out 6 eggs in about 15 minutes and they’re perfect each and every time! I don’t even feel bad any more that I just cannot make boiled eggs!

Normally I would pipe the mixture onto the tops of the boiled eggs but this mixture was a bit too thick to do that so I just spooned it on top. No harm in that. People aren’t going to spend a lot of time looking at these BBQ deviled eggs. They won’t last long enough for long stares.

No-Boil Deviled Eggs

I’ve made my share of deviled eggs. Pretty pastel ones. Awesome Jell-O ones. And ya know, shelling all those eggs can be a job. So when I ran across a way of making no-boil deviled eggs, I immediately decided to give them a shot. What you end up with is that same great deviled egg flavor, but with a lot less trouble. This approach solves a whole lot of problems, specially if you’re setting out to make a big huge batch of eggs for a family get-together or picnis.

No-Boil Deviled Eggs

The original recipe for no-boil deviled eggs called for cutting the cooked eggs into squares, which would’ve maximized the amount of finished eggs you would get. But, I thought that round ones would be more attractive. Plus, I’m not sure I’d be that great at cutting that many squares that would come out looking similar. I prefer a much easier way. Using a cooking cutter made it easy. And a bit fun, actually.

I recently discovered Blue Plate mayonnaise, which I think is the best around. If you can’t find it locally you can pick it up online for a fair price.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 F.
  • Spray an 8″ x 8″ baking dish with non-stick spray.
  • Separate the egg whites and yokes into two bowls.
  • Whisk the whites until they just get foamy. Do not whisk until they foam completely. Less is more in this case.
  • Pour the egg whites into the dish and cover with foil.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or a few minutes more until the eggs have set. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  • Whisk the yokes until smooth.
  • Spray a skillet with non-stick spray and add the yolks. Scramble until cooked.
  • Transfer the yolks to a food processor. Add the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper and process until very smooth.
  • Transfer to a pastry bag with a round tip or dessert decorator.
  • Remove the cooked eggs whites from the baking dish and cut into squares, or use a small cookie cutter to cut into circles.
  • Pipe the egg yolk mixture onto each egg white.
  • Sprinkle with paprika and chives.

Notes

The number of deviled eggs you will get will of course depend on how you cut them. I used a large round cookie cutter so I only got about 2 dozen.

Deviled Pastel Easter Eggs

With Easter approaching rapidly, I thought I’d post a recipe for deviled pastel Easter eggs. These eggs are always on the menu every year when our family gets together to celebrate the day. They’re easy to make. They taste like ‘normal’ deviled eggs. And they look awesome!

Deviled Pastel Easter Eggs

This recipe for deviled pastel Easter eggs makes 24 egg halves. But you’ll have a few egg halves left for other uses. The technique for coloring the eggs can be used for any recipe that calls for hard-boiled eggs. That includes egg salads. Hey, who wouldn’t be wowed by a tie-dyed colored egg salad?

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Halve the eggs. Remove the yolks into a bowl. Discard 24 of the halves (use in an egg salad!)
  • Fill drink glasses (we used rocks glasses) with water and add food coloring to each. You want the color to be pretty dark, even for the lighter colors.
  • Working in batches, gently lower eggs into the glasses (we put them on a spoon and lowered them into the water). Stir very gently and let set in the glass until they reach the desired color. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and dry completely.
  • Mash yolks with a fork and add the mayonnaise, pickle relish, and mustard. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Fill egg halves with yolk mixture. It’s easier to use an icing piper or frosting bag, or if those aren’t available, put the mixture in a plastic baggie, cut off the tip, and use that to pipe the mixture.
  • Garnish with paprika and olives or pimentos, if desired.
  • Store covered in the fridge until ready to serve.
