Ingredients

Scale

Eggs and Filling

  • 8 large eggs, divided
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 1/2 tsp sweet pickle relish
  • 1 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard, divided
  • 1 1/2 tsp yellow mustard, divided
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Breading

  • 1/2 cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup finely ground Ritz cracker crumbs (from 15 to 20 crackers)
  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley flakes
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Finishing

  • Olive oil or other neutral cooking spray
  • Ground paprika, for dusting
  • Fresh dill, for serving

Instructions

  1. Cook the eggs: Place 6 eggs in an air fryer basket and cook at 250°F for 17 minutes. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool completely, then peel the shells off.
  2. Prepare filling: Slice the cooled eggs in half lengthwise and scoop out the yolks into a medium bowl. Add mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, and 1 tsp yellow mustard. Mash with a fork until smooth and creamy. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Transfer the yolk mixture to a small piping bag or sealable bag; refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Setup breading stations: Place flour in a shallow bowl. In a second bowl, beat the remaining 2 eggs with 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard, 1/2 tsp yellow mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper. In a third bowl, combine Ritz cracker crumbs, panko, garlic powder, parsley flakes, cayenne pepper (if using), 3/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  4. Bread the egg whites: Working with one egg white at a time, dip into the flour to coat, then into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, and finally press into the breadcrumb mixture to coat evenly. Place the coated egg whites on a baking sheet and lightly spray both sides with cooking spray.
  5. Air fry the eggs: Arrange the coated eggs in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Cook at 390°F for 8 to 10 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Let cool slightly after cooking.
  6. Assemble and garnish: Arrange the crispy egg whites on a serving platter. Pipe the yolk filling into the egg white halves, dust with ground paprika, and garnish with fresh dill before serving.

Notes

  • Use freshly cooked eggs for best peeling results and proper texture.
  • Ensure the air fryer basket is not overcrowded to allow even crisping of the breaded eggs.
  • You can adjust the amount of cayenne pepper or omit it for a milder flavor.
  • If a piping bag is unavailable, snip the corner of a resealable plastic bag to pipe the yolk filling.
  • Leftover deviled eggs are best enjoyed the same day but can be refrigerated up to one day.
