Peel the Eggs
Gently tap the eggs on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel them under running water to help remove the shell easily.
Filling Preparation
- 4
Prepare the Yolk Filling
Slice the peeled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks into a bowl. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped bacon, chopped scallions, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mash everything together until smooth and well-combined.
Breading and Frying
- 5
Bread the Eggs
Using a piping bag or a spoon, fill the egg white halves with the yolk mixture. Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with a beaten egg, and one with bread crumbs. Dip each stuffed egg half first into the flour, then the beaten egg, and finally coat it with the bread crumbs.

Fry the Egg Halves
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded egg halves in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
