Description
Fried Deviled Eggs are a delightful twist on the classic deviled eggs, where the egg whites are deep-fried to crispy perfection and filled with a creamy, flavorful yolk mixture.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Deviled Eggs:
- 12 hard-boiled eggs (peeled)
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons pickle relish
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (or to taste)
- paprika (for garnish)
For Coating and Frying:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs (raw and at room temperature)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Slice the eggs: Slice the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise.
- Remove the yolks: Very carefully, separate the yolk from the egg white, and place the yolks in a medium bowl.
- Make the filling: Add the Filling ingredients to the yolks, using a fork mix to combine until smooth, and taste to adjust for salt and pepper.
- Chill: Add the mixture to a piping bag or Ziploc bag. Set aside in the fridge.
- Prepare the coating: Add the flour to a shallow bowl, the raw eggs to another shallow bowl, and lightly beat them, and the panko to a third bowl.
- Heat oil: Next, heat the oil for deep-frying in a deep pan over medium heat.
- Fry the whites: Coat the cooked egg white in flour first, after that dip it into the beaten eggs, and panko bread crumbs. Carefully place the egg whites into the hot oil and deep-fry until golden, for 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Drain oil: Remove from the pan and arrange them on a plate covered with paper towels to drain excess oil. Let them cool.
- Add filling: Pipe the filling into the fried egg whites and dust with paprika and garnish with chopped green onions.
- Serve: Serve or refrigerate for later.
