Fried deviled eggs are a delightful twist on the classic recipe, with a crispy coating and tangy yolk filling!
Ingredients :
8 eggs divided
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper to taste
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup seasoned bread crumbs
¼ cup panko
cooking spray
smoked paprika for garnish, optional
Directions :
Place 6 eggs in the air fryer basket (reserve 2 eggs for coating the whites). Turn the air fryer on to 250°F and cook the eggs for 16 to 17 minutes or until hard boiled. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes.
Gently peel cooled hard-boiled eggs and slice in half lengthwise.
Gently remove the yolks and place them in a medium bowl, reserving the egg whites.
Use a fork to mash the egg yolks with mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set aside.
Preheat the air fryer to 400℉.
In a small bowl whisk the 2 remaining eggs. In a separate bowl combine the panko and seasoned bread crumbs. Put the flour in a third shallow bowl.
Dip the egg whites in flour, followed by the egg wash, and then the bread crumbs mixture gently pressing to adhere. Repeat with the remaining egg whites.
Spray the crumbs with cooking spray, and then carefully place egg whites into the air fryer basket.
Air fry for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and crispy.
Fill each fried egg white with the yolk mixture using a spoon or a piping bag. Serve immediately.
