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 and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove eggs and transfer to an ice bath to cool completely.
- Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Set egg whites aside.
- Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth, then mix in mayonnaise, dill, Dijon mustard, salt, and white pepper until creamy. Cover and refrigerate the filling.
- Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with all-purpose flour, another with beaten eggs, and the last with a mix of panko and regular breadcrumbs.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Dredge each egg white half in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently for an even coating.
- Fry breaded egg whites in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Once egg whites cool slightly, pipe or spoon the yolk filling into each fried egg white half.
- Garnish with paprika and extra fresh dill. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use fresh eggs for easier peeling after boiling.
Adjust the spices in the filling to suit your taste.
For extra crispiness, ensure the oil is properly heated before frying.
