Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

  • 6 large eggs (hard boiled for 10 minutes, peeled and cut in half)
  • 2 raw eggs (beaten)

Filling

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon pickles (finely chopped or use relish)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Sea salt & pepper (to taste)

Breading

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup butter crackers (blended into crumbs)

Additional

  • Oil spray or melted butter (for brushing)
  • Dill (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the yolk filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked egg yolks, mayonnaise, finely chopped pickles or relish, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and pepper. Mash thoroughly with a fork until the mixture becomes a smooth, creamy puree.
  2. Set up breading stations: Arrange three dishes in a row: one with flour, one with beaten raw eggs, and one with a mixture of bread crumbs and blended butter cracker crumbs.
  3. Bread the egg whites: Take each halved cooked egg white and coat it first in flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. Air fry the egg whites: Place the breaded egg whites in the air fryer basket or dish. Lightly spray or brush them with oil or melted butter to promote browning. Air fry at 390°F (200°C) for 4-5 minutes per side until they develop a golden, crispy exterior.
  5. Fill and garnish: Once air fried, carefully pipe or spoon the prepared yolk mixture into each breaded egg white half. Garnish with fresh dill or other herbs of choice. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure eggs are fully cooled after boiling for easy peeling.
  • Adjust seasoning in the yolk mixture to taste, adding more mustard or pickles if desired.
  • For extra crispiness, use panko bread crumbs instead of regular.
  • Garnish with paprika or chives as an alternative to dill.
  • Serve these as an elegant appetizer or party snack.
