FAQs
1. Can I use pre-made deviled egg filling?
Yes! You can buy pre-made filling if you’re short on time, but it’s super easy to mix it up fresh.
2. How long do I need to fry the eggs?
Fry them until they are golden brown, which usually takes about 3-5 minutes. Keep an eye on them!
3. Can I bake these instead of frying?
Baking is an option, but they won’t have the same crispy texture as frying. If you choose to bake, brush them with oil and bake at 400°F for about 15-20 minutes.
