Ingredients

6 hard boiled eggs, cooked and peeled
3 Tbsp mayonnaise
1 Tbsp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tsp stone ground mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
2 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled, bacon fat reserved
Chives, minced for garnish

Instructions

Set the EGG for indirect cooking with the convEGGtor at 200°F/93°C.

Place cooked and peeled eggs directly on the grill grate. Smoke eggs for 15-20 minutes (flipping over halfway through the cook). Remove and allow the eggs to cool.

Cut off about ⅛” slice off opposite sides of each hardboiled egg and discard. Removing this piece of egg white will ensure that your deviled eggs will sit flat on the plate. Next cut each hard-boiled egg in half crosswise and carefully lift out the yolks and place into a small mixing bowl.

Add mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, mustard, reserved bacon fat, salt and pepper to the yolks and mash with a fork. Place filling into piping bag and pipe into egg whites. Garnish with crumbled bacon and minced chives.
