Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (plus more for garnish)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten (for dredging)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Cut hard-boiled eggs in half and carefully remove yolks.
- In a bowl, mash yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and paprika until smooth.
- Fill the egg whites with the yolk mixture. Optionally, press halves back together to form whole eggs.
- Set up dredging station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
- Roll each filled egg in flour, dip in beaten egg, then coat with panko breadcrumbs.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or skillet to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry eggs in small batches until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
- Remove with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Garnish with paprika and serve warm.
Notes
- Use panko breadcrumbs for maximum crunch.
- Do not overcrowd the fryer to keep oil temperature stable.
- Freeze filled eggs for 10 minutes before coating to help them hold shape during frying.
