How to Make Fried Deviled Eggs

Fried, deviled eggs are delicious and actually pretty easy to make. They're a hit at parties and around the holidays instead of traditional deviled eggs.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 10 eggs to boil
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon of chopped chives
• Salt and pepper
• 1 cup regular flour
• 2 beaten eggs
• 1 cup of panko crumbs
• Oil to fry with (peanut works well but you can use vegetable oil, too)
• Frying pan or deep fryer

1. Hard-boil the eggs

2. Peel the eggs, slice them length-wise, and put the yolks in a mixing bowl.

3. For the filling: mix the yolks, mayo, dijon mustard, salt and pepper, and chives all together and season to taste. You may want to add a little hot sauce for extra kick.

4. Fill the empty egg whites with the mixture and heat some oil in a pan or deep-fryer to medium-high heat or around 350 degrees F (Gas mark 4 / 180 degrees C).

5. Fill 3 bowls with flour (add a little salt and pepper) , 2 beaten eggs, and panko crumbs respectively.

6. Dip each deviled egg in the flour, then the beaten eggs, then the panko crumbs and put them carefully in the heated oil to fry.

7. Fry eggs until golden brown and remove them to a plate with paper towels on it. If you're using a shallow pan without much oil, you may have to turn them. You may want to add a little seasoning on top after you remove them.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't just boil the eggs, take them off the heat when the water reaches a boil and let them stand for 15 minutes or so ... otherwise they will end up like rubber
• Panko crumbs are basically just flaky breadcrumbs. You can usually find them either with the Asian food or near the regular breadcrumbs
