Fried Deviled Eggs take the classic deviled egg to a bold new level with a crispy, golden-brown coating. The creamy, tangy yolk filling pairs perfectly with the crunch of the fried egg white for an irresistible appetizer or snack that’s always a hit at gatherings.
Place eggs in a pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Let them cook for 7 minutes, then turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in the pot, covered, for 10 minutes. After that, cool the eggs in an ice bath.
Peel the eggs, slice them in half, and remove the yolks carefully. Set the whites aside.
Mash the yolks with mayonnaise, dill, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Set up a breading station with three bowls: flour in one, beaten eggs in another, and a mix of panko and regular breadcrumbs in the third.
Coat each egg white half in flour, dip it in the beaten egg, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture to coat evenly.
Heat about 2 inches of oil in a skillet or saucepan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the breaded egg halves in batches for 1-2 minutes per side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the fried egg whites. Sprinkle with paprika and any extra toppings like bacon, chives, or hot sauce if desired.
Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
Use a piping bag for a neat presentation when adding the filling.
Chill the breaded egg whites for 10-15 minutes before frying for extra crispiness.
