Ingredients

  • 7 large eggs

Candied Bacon

Deviled Egg Filling

Instructions

  • Preheat smoker. Preheat your smoker or oven to 275 degrees F.
  • Cook candied bacon. Arrange the bacon in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil. Drizzle the bacon with the maple syrup, and sprinkle with the brown sugar and sweet rub. Place on the smoker and cook for 25-30 minutes until the bacon is rendered and tacky. Set aside and allow to cool completely.
    3 slices bacon, 2 Tablespoons brown sugar, 1 Tablespoon maple syrup, 1 ½ teaspoons Hey Grill Hey Sweet Rub
  • Boil the eggs. While the candied bacon cooks, bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add your eggs and cook for 10-12 minutes. Remove from the pot to a bowl of ice water to cool.
    7 large eggs
  • Prep the eggs. Peel the cooled eggs and slice in half. Gently scoop the yolks out into a medium mixing bowl. You can eat or discard the two egg whites that look the most beat up. You need the additional yolk in the filling to make the deviled eggs nice and full.
  • Make the yolk filling. Add in the mayonnaise, Zesty Gold sauce, vinegar, Sweet Rub, and diced jalapeños to the egg yolks. Whisk vigorously to combine and fluff up the yolks.
    3 Tablespoons mayonnaise, 2 teaspoons Hey Grill Hey Zesty Gold BBQ Sauce, 2 teaspoons Hey Grill Hey Sweet Rub, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, 1 Tablespoon pickled jalapeños
  • Fill the eggs. Use a spoon to fill each egg white with about 1 Tablespoon of the yolk mixture.
  • Garnish. Remove the cooled candied bacon to a cutting board and dice into coarse crumbles. Top each deviled egg with a spoonful of the candied bacon crumbles. Serve chilled.
