Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and place the yolks into a medium size bowl and place the whites on a tray.
Deviled Egg Filling
Add 3 Tablespoons of mayonnaise, ½ teaspoon of mustard, ½ teaspoon of white wine vinegar to bowl with the egg yolks.
Using a hand mixer, whip the egg yolks with the other wet ingredients until smooth. You can also use a fork, but it won't be as smooth or as light and airy.
Fold in the sweet pickle relish. Cover the bowl and put it in the refrigerator until you are ready to fill your deviled eggs.
Breading the Egg Whites
Add the flour and ¼ teaspoon of sea salt to a quart size ziplock bag and shake to blend together
Combine the bread crumbs, panko, and ¼ teaspoon of salt into another quart size ziplock baggie and shake to combine.
In a small bowl, combine 3 Tablespoons of mayonnaise, ½ teaspoon of white wine vinegar, ½ teaspoon mustard, and 1 large raw egg. Whisk with a fork until well combined.
Place all of the egg white halves into the bag that has the flour/salt mixture and shake to cover the eggs.
Remove one egg white half from the bag of flour and tap to remove any excess flour. Place the egg white into the bowl with the wet batter and flip with a fork to coat the entire egg. This can take several flips.
Remove the coated egg white with a fork and place it on the breadcrumbs in the bag. Use a spoon to spoon the breadcrumbs over the egg and then shake in the bag.
Remove the coated egg white half and place it oval side up on a tray. Repeat the same process for all of the egg white halves.
Air Frying
Preheat the air fryer on the hottest setting for a full 10 minutes prior to air frying the deviled eggs.
Spritz the rounded part of the egg with oil. Once the air fryer is preheated, place the eggs in the basket or tray of the air fryer oval side down. Try not to let them touch each other and they should be in a single layer. Spritz the tops with oil.
Air Fry on 390℉/200℃ for 5 minutes. Don't flip. When the time is up, open the air fryer and let them sit for 5 minutes so the coating cools and firms up. Remove the eggs and let them cool on a wire rack for about 5-10 minutes before filling them with the yolk mixture.
Deep Frying
Follow the instructions for your deep fryer if that is what you are using and heat the oil to 350℉/176℃. If you are using a pot on the stove, make sure it is a heavy bottomed pot and not a thin aluminum pot. Fill the pot about 3-4" with oil, make sure not to go past halfway up the pot sides. Heat on medium high until the oil has reached 350℉/176℃.
Add 3-4 breaded egg white halves to the deep fryer or pot with hot oil. The amount you can add at once depends on the size of your pot, but don't do more than 6 at a time or the temperature of the oil will reduce too quickly and can lead to the breadcrumbs absorbing too much oil and not crisping.
Fry the egg white halves for about 3-4 minutes and flip them over if necessary. Make sure to maintain the oil temperature at 350/176℃ by adjusting the heat as necessary and monitor the temp with a candy thermometer or high heat thermometer.
Remove the fried egg white halves when they are golden brown using a spider or a slotted metal spoon. Place them on a paper towel or on a cooling rack. Repeat the process until all of the eggs are fried. Let them cool 5-10 minutes before filling with the deviled egg mixture.
Filling the Deviled Eggs
You can either spoon the yolk mixture into the well of the egg or use a piping bag with an open tip to pipe the mixture into the egg.
Sprinkle with paprika or top with preferred garnishes. Serve & Enjoy!
