Step 1: Prepare the Eggs

Start by carefully placing cold eggs in a pot, covering them with cold water. Ensure there’s about an inch of water above the eggs.

Step 2: Cook the Eggs

Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot with a lid and turn off the heat. Let the eggs sit for about 12-14 minutes.

Step 3: Cool the Eggs

After the time has elapsed, transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water to cool for at least 5 minutes.

Step 4: Peel the Eggs

Once cooled, gently tap the eggs on a hard surface and peel them under cool running water to make the process easier.

Step 5: Cut and Scoop

Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Set the egg whites aside.

Step 6: Mix the Filling

Mash the yolks using a fork, then mix in mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.

Step 7: Fill the Egg Whites

Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the hollowed out egg whites.

Step 8: Air Fry the Deviled Eggs

Preheat the air fryer to 270°F (130°C). Carefully place the filled eggs in the air fryer basket and cook for about 6-8 minutes.

Step 9: Garnish and Serve

Once done, remove the eggs from the air fryer, garnish as desired, and serve immediately.
