Air Fried Deviled Eggs are a keto friendly appetizer that is sure to spice up your next party.
I got some microgreens from the CSA and was chatting with my chef brother about what to do with them. He said they usually use them just as a garnish. And then he suggested I use them as a nest for Fried Deviled Eggs.
Fried Deviled Eggs? Say what now? This is a "thing"? Yes, it is. And they are delicious.
These can be deep fried if you prefer. But, I hate frying, especially such a small amount. So after a little research, I rolled them in pecan meal instead of the egg wash- panko mixture (low carb yeah!) and popped them in my air fryer.
Not only did I put them in a nest of kohlrabi microgreens I added some leek microgreens on top. But, use any fresh herbs you have. (Oh my, did I just sound like Ina Garten there?)

That is really clever! Kind of like Scotch eggs, but not!

off to google Scotch eggs... 😉

Very different! I love the idea of a pecan crust!

These look great! I have been so tempted to get an air fryer...

Would almond flour work for these at all?
Audrey
I don't see why not. Most recipes call for breading with flour, dipping in an egg wash and then rolling in panko bread crumbs for a nice crunchy crust after frying (air frying in this case). You could just skip the panko, or roll them in finely chopped nuts (or almond/pecan meal) if you want to try it.
