STEP

1

Slice eggs

Slice each egg in half lengthwise.
STEP

2

Scoop the yolks

Scoop out yolks and place in a mini food processor or blender.
STEP

3

Make the filling

To make the filling , combine cream cheese, roasted red peppers, mustard, salt and smoked paprika to the yolks in the food processor. Blend until smooth. Set egg yolk mixture aside. (If you don’t have a food processor, you can mix using an electric mixer or by hand with a fork.)

Best method to hard boil an egg

As simple as boiling an egg may sound, sometimes the egg is undercooked, overcooked, doesn’t peel well, or the shell cracks while it is boiling.

One of the best methods to consistently cook the perfect hard-boiled egg is to use the 5-5-5 method in the Instant Pot.

For this method, place the trivet in the liner of the instant pot, add 1 cup of water to the liner, and pile on the eggs. Allow your eggs to pressure cook for 5 minutes, then natural release for 5 minutes, and finally, put the eggs in an ice bath for 5 minutes.

In a total of 15 minutes, your eggs will come out flawless with a hard-boiled yolk, and an easy-to-peel shell. With those easy steps, your hard-boiled eggs will be ready to be turned into a fried deviled egg masterpiece.

Fried coating

The fried coating for these fried deviled eggs is only as good as the ingredients that make the crust.

In this gluten-free, keto friendly recipe, the crust is made with almond flour and pork panko. If you are having a difficult time finding pork panko in the grocery stores, you can quickly make some yourself since it is just made out of ground pork rinds.

Made ahead deviled eggs

The great part about this keto deviled eggs recipe is that you can make most of the ingredients ahead of time so that if you need to make a meal quickly, you will already have most of the work done.

Just make your hard-boiled eggs ahead of time. You can even slice them up and make the filling of your yolk mixture. That way, when you want to make fried deviled eggs, you can just quickly fry the egg whites.

You do not want to fry the eggs beforehand because they may get soggy in the refrigerator, and the outer layer won’t be crispy.

Are deviled eggs keto?

Yes! Devils eggs are mainly keto as long as you don’t add any non-keto ingredients to the filling.

The most common ingredients for deviled eggs include egg, mayo, and seasoning.

These basic ingredients make a delicious deviled egg, and they are perfectly keto-friendly. Since the ingredients are already keto, you don’t have to substitute any common ingredients to make your favorite deviled eggs recipe.

Fried Deviled Eggs: FAQS

Can I use regular breadcrumbs instead of pork panko for frying?

While pork panko gives a unique flavor and crunch, you can use regular gluten-free breadcrumbs as a substitute. Just keep in mind that the texture and taste might be slightly different.

What can I substitute for cream cheese if I want a dairy-free option?

You can use a dairy-free cream cheese alternative or even mashed avocado for a lighter filling. Just ensure that the substitute has a similar creamy texture.

How should I store leftover fried deviled eggs?

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’re best enjoyed within 1-2 days for optimal freshness and crunch.

Can I make the filling ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the filling a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Just make sure to assemble and fry the eggs right before serving for the best texture.

How can I make these fried deviled eggs a bit spicier?

If you want some heat, try adding a few dashes of hot sauce to the filling or mixing in some finely chopped jalapeños or other spicy peppers.
