Equipment

Method
 

  1. Place the eggs in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 10 to 12 minutes.
  2. Cool the eggs in cold water, then peel them carefully.
  3. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and remove the yolks.
  4. Place the yolks in a bowl with mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and black pepper, then mash until smooth.
  5. Spoon or pipe the filling back into the egg whites to form stuffed eggs.
  6. Set up three bowls with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.
  7. Gently roll each filled egg half in flour, then dip in egg wash, and coat with breadcrumbs.
  8. Heat the oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
  9. Carefully fry each egg half for 1 to 2 minutes until golden and crisp.
  10. Remove the fried eggs and place them on paper towels to drain. Sprinkle lightly with paprika and serve warm.

Notes

You can boil and peel the eggs one day ahead to save time. Fry the eggs just before serving so the coating stays crisp and the filling remains creamy.
