Air Fryer Deviled Eggs Recipe

Introduction

Air Fryer Deviled Eggs offer a crispy twist on a classic favorite. With a crunchy coating and creamy filling, they’re perfect for snacks or parties. Plus, using an air fryer makes them lighter and easier to prepare.

Ingredients

• 6 eggs (hard boiled, cooked for 10 minutes, peeled and cut in half)
• 2 tablespoons mayo
• 1 tablespoon pickles (finely chopped, or use relish)
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• Sea salt & pepper (to taste)
• 1/2 cup flour
• 2 raw eggs (beaten in a mixing bowl)
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup butter crackers (blended into crumbs)
• Oil spray or melted butter (for brushing)
• Dill (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked egg yolks, mayo, pickles, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mash thoroughly with a fork until smooth and creamy.
2. Step 2: Prepare three dishes for breading: one with flour, one with beaten raw eggs, and one with a mix of bread crumbs and crushed butter crackers.
3. Step 3: Take each hard-boiled egg white half and coat it first in flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the crumb mixture.
4. Step 4: Arrange the breaded egg whites in your air fryer basket. Lightly spray or brush them with oil or melted butter for extra crispiness.
5. Step 5: Air fry at 390°F (200°C) for 4-5 minutes per side, until they turn golden and crunchy.
6. Step 6: Once cooked, spoon the creamy yolk mixture into each egg white half. Garnish with dill or your preferred herbs, then serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to the yolk mixture.
• Use gluten-free flour and breadcrumbs to make this recipe gluten-free.
• Try substituting mayo with Greek yogurt for a lighter filling.
• If you don’t have butter crackers, plain breadcrumbs or panko can work well too.

Storage

Store any leftover deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in the air fryer to maintain crispiness, or enjoy cold. The filling can also be made ahead and added just before serving.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I bake these instead of air frying?

Yes, you can bake them at 400°F for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through to get them crispy on both sides.

How do I prevent the coating from falling off?

Make sure to follow the flour-egg-crumbs breading order and press the crumbs gently onto the egg whites. Brushing or spraying with oil also helps the coating stick and crisp evenly.

Instructions

1. Prepare the yolk filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked egg yolks, mayonnaise, pickles, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mash everything together thoroughly with a fork until you achieve a smooth, creamy puree.
2. Set up the breading stations: Place the flour in one dish, beaten raw eggs in a second dish, and combine the bread crumbs and blended butter cracker crumbs in a third dish. Arrange them in the order of flour, eggs, then crumbs.
3. Coat the egg whites: Take the halved egg whites and one-by-one coat each in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the crumb mixture, ensuring each is evenly covered.
4. Air fry the breaded egg whites: Place the breaded egg whites in the air fryer basket or dish. Lightly spray or brush them with oil or melted butter. Air fry at 390°F (200°C) for 4-5 minutes per side, until they develop a golden and crispy exterior.
5. Assemble the deviled eggs: Once air-fried, fill each crispy egg white half with the prepared yolk puree. Garnish with dill or your choice of fresh greens for a vibrant touch. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

• Make sure the eggs are completely cooled before peeling to avoid tearing the whites.
• For an extra crispy coating, you can double dip the egg whites by repeating the egg and crumb coating step.
• If you don’t have butter crackers, substitute with finely crushed saltine or Ritz crackers.
• Dill is optional but adds a fresh flavor that complements the creamy yolk filling.
• Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model; adjust accordingly for the perfect crisp.
