Ingredients

  • 12-14 hardboiled eggs
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 green onions very finely sliced
  • 1 heaping tbsp country Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp barbecue rub
  • 1/2 tsp hot sauce
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Add the eggs to a disposable aluminum pan. Then smoke them at 225° for 10-15 minutes, until the eggs are golden brown and smoke scented.
    12-14 hardboiled eggs
  • Carefully remove the hot pan from the smoker, and let the eggs rest until they're cool to the touch.
  • Transfer the eggs to a mixing bowl, then use a potato masher (or fork) to mash them. Mash them well, unless you like larger chunks.
  • Add the remaining ingredients, EXCEPT the salt & pepper, to the bowl. Stir together until evenly combined.

  • Season the mixture with salt & pepper, to taste.
    salt & pepper
  • Serve & enjoy!

Notes

  • We like to make air fryer hard boiled eggs, which yields consistent results and easy to peel eggs.
  • Hate peeling hard boiled eggs? You could also buy shelled hard boiled eggs, if that's easier.
  • When I use all 14 eggs, I typically add an extra tablespoon of mayo and an extra heaping teaspoon of mustard.
