Air Fryer Deviled Eggs
Description
Creamy, classic air fryer deviled eggs made without boiling. Cook the eggs right in the air fryer, peel them easily with a quick ice bath, and fill with a simple mayo-and-Dijon filling — ready in about 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika, for garnish
Instructions
- Air fry the eggs. Place the whole eggs on a trivet or tray in the air fryer basket. Set the temperature to 250°F and cook for 16 minutes.
- Ice bath. Using tongs, transfer the cooked eggs directly into a bowl of cold ice water to stop the cooking. Let sit about 5 minutes, then peel.
- Halve. Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks to a mixing bowl and set the whites on a serving plate.
- Make the filling. Mash the yolks with a fork, then stir in the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Fill and garnish. Spoon or pipe the filling back into the egg whites. Sprinkle with paprika, then plate, serve, and enjoy.
Equipment
- Bowl of Ice Water
- Trivet or small tray (to keep eggs from rolling)
Notes
- Easy peeling: The ice bath is key — move the eggs into cold water the moment they finish cooking.
- Scaling up: Doubling or tripling the eggs does not change the cook time; just keep them in a single layer.
- Make ahead: Best enjoyed within about a day. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
- Air fryer note: Temperatures vary by model; adjust the time by a minute or two if needed.
