These Smoked Eggs are a fantastic vegetarian recipe for the electric smoker. Flavorful & high in protein – a great appetizer ready fast while your entrees cook. I make these every time our electric smoker is on, and they always turn out amazing!
Our friends gave us an electric smoker for a housewarming gift a while ago, and it has been great to smoke amazing things that aren’t meat. We’ve smoked some really fun ingredients like this hard boiled eggs recipe, tofu, and even Cheese-Itz (highly recommend!).
All taste awesome, and you can do so much with an electric smoker besides meat. Our smoker has 4 shelves, so I like to throw in a tray of eggs, usually at the top if we have extra room. The smoked eggs only take an hour or two, so they are a great appetizer option if you have hungry guests.
This Smoked Hard Boiled Eggs Recipe Is:
- Savory

- Simple
- Versatile
- Meatless, vegetarian, gluten free
What’s In This Smoked Eggs Recipe?
- Hard-boiled eggs: use my easy-peel method for perfect hardboiled eggs every single time! Seriously, not a single shell with stick to the eggs! You can use fresh eggs or ones that are closer to the expiration, and it won’t matter
- Olive Oil: I like coating the eggs in a little bit of this super flavorful olive oil, which helps the spices stick to the tofu. This oil is a really great value online, and I always keep it stocked in my pantry.
- BBQ Sauce: We absolutely love this fantastic BBQ sauce that you can find on Amazon… I like this one you can get online here! It has a nice spiciness and isn’t too sweet – perfect for smoked eggs. It’s vegan, gluten free, paleo, naturally sweet – so it gets the OK for my pantry.
- Montreal Steak Spice: This is our absolute favorite spice blend, we put it on everything!
- Teriyaki Sauce – I coated a few eggs in teriyaki sauce, and they turned out amazing – a little savory and a little sweet. I like this lower sodium teriyaki which doesn’t add too much saltiness to the eggs.
How to Smoke Eggs in an Electric Smoker
- Set the electric smoker to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Peel hardboiled eggs, and slice them in half lengthwise.
- Place the eggs yolk-side-up in a foil packet or a aluminum tray. If using a sauce, dip the egg halves completely in the sauce. If using a spice, drizzle a little olive oil on the eggs and add a pinch of spice so the spices/seasonings stick to the surface of the egg. I like to use BBQ sauce and Montreal Steak spice for my eggs.
- Place the eggs in an upper rack, and smoke for 1-2 hours. Do not leave the eggs longer than 2 hours, or they will become tough and rubbery.
