Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup plain regular breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 3 Tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon white pepper
- Paprika, for garnish
- Extra fresh dill, for garnish
Instructions
- Place 6 large eggs in a pot, covering with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool.
- Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yolks and place them in a bowl, setting the egg whites aside.
- Mash the yolks until smooth, then mix in mayonnaise, fresh dill, Dijon mustard, salt, and white pepper. Refrigerate the filling while prepping the whites.
- Set up a breading station with bowls of all-purpose flour, beaten eggs, and a mix of panko and regular breadcrumbs.
- Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Dredge each egg white half in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently for an even coat.
- Fry the egg whites in batches until golden brown, roughly 1-2 minutes per side. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Once cooled slightly, fill each fried egg white half with the yolk mixture.
- Garnish with paprika and fresh dill. Serve immediately.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding hot sauce to the yolk mixture.
If available, use homemade mayonnaise for a richer taste.
Always maintain the oil temperature for even frying.
