Ingredients

• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• ⅛ teaspoon curry powder
• ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper (Optional)
• cooking spray
• ⅛ teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup panko bread crumbs
• ⅓ cup flour
• 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
• 1 pound pork sausage (such as Jimmy Dean®)
• 6 eggs, hard-boiled and shelled
• 2 tablespoons mango chutney (such as Patak's®)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine yogurt, chutney, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, curry powder, and cayenne in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 2

Divide pork sausage into 6 even portions. Flatten each portion into a thin patty. Place one egg in the middle and wrap the sausage around the eggs, sealing all sides. Set eggs aside on a plate.

Step 3

Place flour into a small bowl and beaten eggs into another small bowl. Place panko bread crumbs onto a plate. Dip each sausage-wrapped egg into flour, then dip into beaten egg, letting the excess drip off. Roll in bread crumbs and place onto a plate.

Step 4

Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 5

Spray air fryer basket with cooking spray; arrange eggs in the basket in a single layer without overcrowding; cook in batches if necessary. Cook in the preheated air fryer for 12 minutes, turning eggs over halfway through. Repeat with remaining eggs. Serve with dipping sauce.
