Eggs

Breading and Frying

Method

Egg Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil the Eggs

    Place the eggs in a pot of cold water, ensuring they are covered by at least an inch of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Cool the Eggs

    Once the water reaches a rolling boil, cover the pot, remove it from heat, and let it sit for 12 minutes. Afterward, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    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

  1. 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

  1. 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.

  2. 6

    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.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve the Fried Deviled Eggs

    Arrange the fried deviled eggs on a platter. Garnish with additional chopped scallions if desired and serve warm.
