How To Cook Deviled Eggs In Air Fryer

Cooking deviled eggs in air fryer is very easy. Here are my detailed instructions that will help you to achieve the best results.

Preparing The Eggs

Place the eggs in a single layer in the air fryer basket.

Cook the eggs at 250°F (120°C) for 15 minutes.
Once they are cooked, remove the eggs from the air fryer and transfer them to a bowl of ice water. Give them a few minutes to cool.

Now gently tap each egg on a hard surface and peel off the shell. But make sure that the egg remains intact.
Take a knife and slice the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise.

Carefully remove the yolks and transfer them to a bowl.
Now add flour and panko breadcrumbs in two separate bowls.
Take a small bowl and whisk two eggs in it.
Dip each white half of the boiled egg in flour, then in whisked eggs, and then finally into panko breadcrumbs.
Your preparation of eggs is complete

Creating The Filling

The filling is the heart of the air fryer deviled eggs recipe. Here's how you can create a delicious filling:

Mash the removed yolks with a fork until it becomes smooth.

Now add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix them well to make an even mixture.
At this point, you can taste the filling to adjust the seasoning according to your taste.
Use a spoon or pipe to fill the egg white halves.

Assembling The Deviled Eggs

Take the egg white halves and fill them with the prepared filling.
Sprinkle a pinch of paprika over each deviled egg for a pop of color and added flavor.
Arrange the deviled eggs on a serving platter. They are ready to be air-fried.

Air Frying Technique

For the best results, preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Use cooking spray to grease the air fryer basket.
Place the assembled deviled eggs in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded.
Cook the deviled eggs for 5-7 minutes until the filling is set and the tops turn slightly golden.
After cooking, carefully remove the deviled eggs from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips And Tricks For Perfect Air Fryer Deviled Eggs
