Fried Deviled Eggs (Deep Fried or Air Fried)

• Cook, Cool and Peel
  6 large hard boiled eggs
• Slice each egg in half, lengthways and place the yolks in a med bowl and the whites on a tray
  6 egg yolks

Deviled Egg Filling

• Add mayonnaise, salt and pepper to bowl with the egg yolks
  ¼ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper, 3 tbsp mayonnaise, 6 egg yolks
• With a fork, mash and blend until smooth
• Fold in sweet pickle relish
  1 tbsp sweet relish
• Cover bowl and place in refrigerator until ready to use

Breading the Egg Whites

• Add the flour, salt and pepper to a small bowl
  ½ cup all purpose flour, ¼ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper
• With a fork, combine the Panko and Parmesan in another small bowl
  ½ cup panko bread crumbs, ¼ cup parmesan cheese, ⅛ tsp salt

  2 large eggs
• Place the egg whites into the seasoned flour mixture and coat well
• Remove 1 egg white half at the time and tap off excess flour. Place it in the egg mixture and coat well. This can be tricky –

• Repeat process until all whites are battered

Frying
