Ingredients

1 dozen eggs
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
1 tablespoon chopped chives
Dash hot sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purposeflour
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup panko crumbs
Parsley, for garnish
Peanut oil, for frying

Directions

Add the eggs to a large saucepan filled with cold water. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let sit in the water for 14 minutes.

Peel the eggs and slice lengthwise. Remove the yolks to a bowl. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon, lemon zest, chives, hot sauce and salt and pepper. Mash the yolks together with a wooden spoon. Taste and adjust seasonings, if needed. Fill the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites.

Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.

In a medium bowl, add 1 cup of flour and season with salt and pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs, in a third bowl, add 1 cup of panko.

Dip the eggs into the flour, then the egg and finally into the panko. Gently put the eggs into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel lined sheet tray. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with parsley.

this is an old timer recipe
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I have been married for 25 yrs, and my hubby is from WV his mother who is now 93 gave me this recipe about 20 yrs ago. It... did not have the lemon zest but everything else. This was called the poor mans snack. And it came from scotland to the best of her memory. I can say they are not the best I have eaten, however when I make them they go over well, and are inexpensive to make. I find if I do make them, I change up the ingredients, I keep the main base the same but change up on the heat, and don't use the zest at all ( u get the idea). if I do use sweet/dill pickles I will make sure they are almost mush. This way they are able to mix well into the yolks of the mixture only b/c my sweetheart like the taste just not the texture. But, you use what you like or don't use at all. You can do so much with the outside of the panco too, Seasoning is important. Have fun with it, and along with this Egg you can deep fry, pickles, sweet potatoes, and much more. I use peanut oil and I use a deep GOOD fryer. but, above it all have a blast in trying it all. We like to find out where the item came from, it can take time but, sometimes knowing makes a good party starter, or fun little cards in front of the plate for others to start conversations or break the ice for those who might be new to your party.

Eh...
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

It was pretty amazing how the egg could be battered and fried, I do agree witht the person below me. I didn't like them lemon... in it.. You bite into it and expect it to taste like a deviled egg, but its the total opposite. Just not what I expected.Read more

OMG- Best Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I loved this recipe. It was fantastic, enjoyable, delicious, and too delicate. I thought I wouldn't like it too much because... of it being fried with the stuffing; turns out to be OMG GREAT and extremely delicious. I didn't have all or could not locate all of the suggested ingredients. Therefore, I had to substitute some things like: basil instead of chives; oven-toated oatmeal oats instead of pankro crumbs; and NO lemon zest b/c I forgot it while I was in the grocery store and didn't have the patience to go back. Results: AMAZING!!! I can eat on those things all day. I LOVE"M and my family do too. THANK YOU PAT and GINA for this great family recipe!:)Read more
