Grill & Cooking Supplies
Prep Directions: Boiled Eggs
- Place 3 cups of water in a large sauce pan

- Adjust water if needed to ensure eggs are covered
- When the water boils start the timer and boil for 12 minutes

- Place the eggs on a plate and store in the fridge until time to smoke
Cooking Directions
- Hard boil the eggs as shown above
- Pre-heat your Traeger grill to smoke/180/super smoke – depending on model of Traeger
- Place the chilled WHOLE hard-boiled eggs into the Traeger on the top shelf
- Close the lid and smoke for 30-45 minutes depending on desired smoke level
- Chef’s Note – I find smoking over 45 minutes will result in a tough rubbery outer egg and makes the egg less desirable
- Once the eggs are smoked, place on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and into the fridge to chill for 1 hour. NOTE, its normal for the eggs to have a yellow color to them after being smoked
- Once fully chilled, remove eggs and gently slice in half lengthwise
- Pop out the yolks into as smaller bowl and arrange the egg white halves onto a plate
- Cover and chill the whites until time to fill
- EGG YOLK FILLING

- Place the mixture into a large Ziploc bag and place in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes minimum
