Easy Air Fryer Deviled Eggs are a fresh, modern take on the beloved party classic. Instead of boiling, the air fryer creates perfectly cooked hard eggs with creamy yolks and shells that peel like a dream. This method saves time, ensures consistency, and makes deviled eggs easier than ever.
The filling is irresistibly silky, combining mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and fresh chives for brightness. A dusting of smoked paprika adds color and depth, creating a snack that’s as elegant as it is simple. These eggs are ideal for brunch tables, holiday spreads, or casual get-togethers where you want something classic but with a twist.
Interestingly, deviled eggs have been enjoyed for centuries. Ancient Romans seasoned boiled eggs with spicy sauces as the first course at feasts. Today, this tradition continues—proof that a simple egg can be transformed into something extraordinary.
Once you try Easy Air Fryer Deviled Eggs, you’ll never make them any other way.
