Egg Salad Poppers {Air Fryer or Not}

These egg salad poppers are super fun. Rick was a little surprised when I asked him to taste them and tell me what he thought. He thought I put guacamole in them because I had been working on the guacamole bites.

Man did his face light up though after the first one. We even called the neighbors to come over and try them. So you may just want to double or triple the batch.

Quick and Easy Egg Salad Poppers

It may sound like a ton of work but once you get the hang of this recipe it moves super quick and is super easy. I think mama’s all over are going to be making poppable meals and treats in their air fryers and ovens very soon.

I don’t recommend freezing them because the ingredients don’t play nice with being frozen. What you can do though is to make a batch or two and stick them in the fridge in a storage container and eat them hot or cold.

Why We Liked The Air Fried Egg Salad Poppers Better

I did make these without air frying them and they worked okay. We did like the ones that were air fried much more than the ones that were not. The fried ones were creamier and the coating was like a crisp shell vs just rolled into crumbs. Either way works though.

How To Coat Unfried Egg Salad Poppers

When you are not frying these you will not need the egg white. Just roll the scoops in the ground up tortillas or my Mama’s Bake & Fry Mix.
