Crispy Air Fryer Deviled Eggs
These air fryer deviled eggs are an easy, fun twist on a Southern classic—crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and packed with cheesy flavor thanks to Mama Geraldine’s cheese straws. They come together quickly and make the perfect party appetizer!
Ingredients
For the crispy coating:
- 6 hard-boiled eggs cold
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs beaten
- ½ package Mama Geraldine’s cheese straws crushed into fine crumbs
For the filling:
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon pickle relish
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Smoked paprika for garnish
Instructions
- Cut each hard-boiled egg in half lengthwise. Gently pop out the egg yolks and place them in a small bowl. Set the egg whites aside.
- Lightly coat each egg white half in flour. Then dip it into a beaten egg, and press into the crushed Mama Geraldine’s cheese straws until fully coated.
- Place the coated egg halves facing down in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Spray lightly with oil and air fry at 375°F for 7–10 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
- While the egg whites cook, mash the yolks with mayonnaise, dijon mustard, pickle relish, and a little salt and pepper until smooth.
- Let the egg whites cool slightly, then spoon or pipe the egg yolk mixture back into each crispy half. Add a sprinkle of paprika if you like.
