Ingredients:

  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 strips cooked crispy bacon, crumbled
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped

Instructions:

  1. Place the cold eggs directly into the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  2. Set the air fryer to 270°F (132°C) and cook for 15 minutes.
  3. Immediately remove the eggs and plunge them into a bowl of ice water for 10 minutes to stop the cooking process.
  4. Gently crack the shells and peel the eggs under cool running water.
  5. Slice each egg lengthwise down the center and remove the yolks, placing them into a small mixing bowl.
  6. Mash the yolks with a fork until they reach a fine crumble.
  7. Whisk in mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until the mixture is pale yellow and completely smooth.
  8. Transfer the filling to a piping bag and pipe into the egg white halves in a swirling motion.
  9. Dust the tops with smoked paprika and garnish with crumbled bacon and chopped chives.
