• Now that you have your ingredients lined up, let’s roll our sleeves up and get cooking. The steps are quite easy and can be done within a reasonable time frame, leaving you plenty of time to kick back and relax before your guests arrive.

Step 1: Prepare the Hard-Boiled Eggs

• Start by boiling your eggs. If you prefer, you can follow my pressure cooker method or the classic stove method. After boiling, let them cool completely. Once they're cool, cut each egg in half lengthwise. The yolks should gently pop out into a bowl, while the whites will be set aside on a tray.

Step 2: Make the Filling

• In the bowl with your egg yolks, add your 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, the 1/2 teaspoon of white wine vinegar, and your 1/2 teaspoon of spicy mustard. Now here's where the magic happens—use a hand mixer to whip this mixture until it’s delightfully smooth. If you’re feeling no rush, a fork works fine too, but it might not get that light and airy consistency.
• Once that’s done, fold in your sweet pickle relish, along with that fresh dill you added earlier for an extra punch. Cover this creamy mixture and pop it in the refrigerator while you get the breading ready.

Step 3: Bread the Egg Whites

• In a ziplock bag, throw in the flour combined with 1/4 teaspoon of fine grind sea salt. Shake it up to mix! In another bag, combine the traditional bread crumbs, panko, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Give it a good shake.
• Now, in a medium bowl, whisk together your mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, spicy mustard, and that beaten egg until it’s all well blended.
• Take the egg whites and toss them in the flour mixture. Make sure they’re coated well! Shake off any excess flour before dipping them into the wet batter. Coat every little surface of the egg whites, and let the excess batter drip off.
• Slide those coated egg whites into the breadcrumb mixture to give them a generous covering. Once done, set these beauties on a tray, and repeat the process until all are ready!

Step 4: Air Frying (Optional Method)

• For those who want to keep things a bit lighter, preheat the air fryer for about 10 minutes on its highest setting. Spritz the rounded part of each egg with oil, then arrange them in the basket, ensuring they’re not overcrowded.
• Air fry at 390℉ (200℃) for about 5 minutes. No need to flip them! When the time’s up, let them sit for an additional 5 minutes before you remove them and let them cool. You'll want to wait about 10 minutes before filling them.

Step 5: Deep Frying Method

• If you’re going for the classic route, heat your oil in a deep fryer or a heavy pot to about 350℉ (176℃). Remember, not to overfill the pot to keep things safe!
• Drop in 3-4 of your breaded egg whites at a time (don’t overcrowd—it’s key!). Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. You can flip them if needed. Once done, pull them out and let them drain on a paper towel.
• Repeat until all are perfectly crispy and golden. Provide them with a few moments to cool again before filling them with that devilish yolk mixture.

Step 6: Fill and Garnish

• Here's where you can be a bit creative. You can either use a spoon for filling or pipe the filling in with a piping bag for a neat touch. A quick sprinkle of paprika or any preferred garnish makes them even more enticing!
