Crispy and fried deviled eggs are a fantastic twist on the classic recipe, adding a crunchy exterior to the creamy, tangy filling. Here’s a recipe with a special touch to elevate it:
Ingredients:
For the Deviled Eggs:
6 large eggs
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon pickle relish (optional for added flavor)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (or vinegar)
Salt and pepper to taste
Paprika (for garnish)
For the Crispy Coating:
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko works best for extra crunch)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
2 eggs (for dipping)
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Special Touch:
1 tablespoon sriracha or hot sauce (for an added zing)
Fresh herbs (parsley or chives) for garnish
Instructions:
Prepare the Eggs:
Boil the eggs by placing them in a pot of water and bringing it to a boil. Once boiling, turn off the heat and cover the pot, letting the eggs sit for 12 minutes. After that, transfer them to an ice bath to cool quickly.
Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
Make the Deviled Filling:
Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, pickle relish (optional), lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. For an extra kick, add a little sriracha or hot sauce. Mix until creamy and well-combined.
