Egg Preparation

Method

Egg Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil the Eggs

    In a medium pot, bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Add 6 eggs gently into the boiling water and cook for 10-12 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cool the Eggs

    After boiling, remove the eggs from the pot and place them in a bowl of ice water for about 5 minutes to cool down.

  3. 3

    Peel the Eggs

    Once cool, gently tap the eggs on a hard surface to crack the shells, then peel them under running water for easier removal.

Filling

  1. 4

    Prepare the Filling

    Cut the peeled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks. In a bowl, mash the yolks with a fork, then mix in 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper until smooth.

  2. 5

    Add Chives

    Fold in 2 tablespoons of chopped chives into the yolk mixture for added flavor.

  3. 6

    Fill the Egg Whites

    Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.

Breading and Frying

  1. 7

    Prepare the Breading Station

    Set up three bowls: one with 0.5 cups of all-purpose flour, one with 2 beaten eggs, and one with 1 cup of breadcrumbs.

  2. 8

    Bread the Eggs

    Dip each filled egg half in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

  3. 9

    Fry the Eggs

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat 2 cups of vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded eggs and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  4. 10

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried eggs from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
