Ingredients

5-6 hard-boiled eggs
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon spicy mustard
1 teaspoon white distilled vinegar
Dash of salt and pepper
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup flour
12 saltine crackers crumbled fine
1 egg + 1/4 cup milk egg wash

Toppings

Smoked Paprika
Crumbled Bacon optional
Jalapeno slices optional

Instructions

Take your hard-boiled eggs, peel, and slice in half. Add the white part of the egg on a plate and the yellow cooked yolks in a bowl.
With a fork crumble your yolks until finely crumbled. Add in your mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, a dash of salt, pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon paprika.
Stir until combined. Cover and place in the fridge.
Now you will work on deep frying your eggs. In a bowl add your flour and finely crumbled saltines.
In another bowl add your raw egg and milk, and whisk to make an egg wash.
Dip one of your white hard-boiled egg halves in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture, back into the flour to coat.
Deep fry your eggs in oil in a pan on the stove. You want to get a golden brown coating. Remove and place your egg on a paper towel.
Once all your eggs are deep-fried and cooled a little, grab your filling and spoon into the fried eggs or pipe into your eggs.
Top with some crumbled bacon, a jalapeno slice, or a dusting of paprika or chili powder.
Serve up your fried deviled eggs right away, as they will soften after they fully cool down.

Notes

Air Fryer Directions

You will do the same instructions as listed above. The only difference is you will spritz your eggs that have been battered with an oil mister. Then cook at 350 degrees. After 2-3 minutes, flip eggs. Repeat until the eggs are golden brown. Spritzing with oil is key.

You can use bread crumbs or panko bread crumbs instead of flour and saltines
Leave out the jalapeno and bacon on toppings if you want. It adds tons of flavor.
Add a splash of hot sauce to the egg wash to add a kick of spice.
