My classic creamy Southern deviled eggs get a bold, smoky twist with a drizzle of homemade bourbon BBQ sauce on top! Made with simple ingredients like mayo, heavy cream, and Dijon mustard, the rich and velvety filling is piped into tender egg whites, then topped with a sweet and tangy sauce cooked up on the stovetop with a splash of Kentucky bourbon. Perfect for tailgates, wedding showers, holiday parties, or just when that deviled egg craving strikes—these bites bring a little Southern charm and a whole lot of flavor to any gathering! Yields 12.

We are loving some deviled eggs around here y'all!

OK, I have said it before but I'll say it again, I was not always a big fan of deviled eggs. Growing up in Kentucky and taught to cook by my Southern mother, deviled eggs were a staple at all holiday tables.

It wasn't until I grew up and my taste buds got refined that I learned to love them. Give me a loaded deviled egg or pimento cheese deviled eggs any day and I will be a happy camper!

Recently while I was recipe-testing tangy bourbon BBQ sauce - I had some leftovers once I nailed the recipe and was using it on a couple of different things. I happened to have made just my plain Southern deviled eggs for a friend that week and I decided to drizzle some of the BBQ sauce over the top to see how she liked it and it was a big hit!

So here we are - taking two Southern recipes and melding them together and boy is it oh so good! The men are especially gunna like this one!

Welcome to My Kitchen, Let's Cook!

Step one: make the hard-boiled eggs.

Eggs inside a large pot on the stove with water. — Place your eggs into a pot and fill with water to cover them. Turn on high heat and bring to a boil.

A boiling pot of water with eggs inside cooking. — Once at a boil, set the timer for 10 minutes.

Ice water in a large pot cooling hard boiled eggs. — When the time is up, remove from the heat and pour out the hot water then fill with ice and cold water to stop the cooking process. Let cool for at least 10 minutes.

⭐️PRO TIP⭐️ - this step can be done 2-3 days in advance if needed. Just peel the eggs and keep them stored in the fridge until needed.

Step two: make the filling.

Hard boiled eggs cut in half on a cutting board. — When the eggs are cool, peel them and slice them in half.

Filling for deviled eggs inside a mixing bowl on a kitchen counter. — Add the yolks and the rest of the filling ingredients to a large mixing bowl...

A hand mixer mixing up the filling for deviled eggs. — ...and mix with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.

A hand pipping in the egg yolk filling into egg whites. — Place the filling into a pipping bag and pipe the filling into each egg white with a generous amount - using all of the filling. Place in the fridge to chill for an hour.

BBQ sauce in a small ziplock bag on a cutting board. — Once ready to serve, take a couple of tablespoons of the BBQ sauce and add it to a sandwich-size zip-top bag. Seal and snip a tiny piece off of one of the corners.

Drizzling BBQ sauce over deviled eggs on a large serving platter. — Place the eggs on a platter and then carefully drizzle the BBQ sauce on top of the deviled eggs. Serve immediately!

⭐️PRO TIP⭐️ - I have filled the eggs a number of different ways. You can use use a spoon to spoon the filling in, you can use a disposable piping bag like above, snip the tip-off, and pipe the filling inside. Or even use a large open star piping tip to make them a little extra fancy looking if you are feeling up to it. It's a choose your own adventure and do whatever you want kinda situation!

Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. If you want to make it ahead of time, wait to add the BBQ sauce until right before serving to keep as fresh as possible and a beautiful presentation for your guests!
