Why We Love This Recipe

At Prime Foods, we love finding new ways to make protein-forward eating convenient and delicious. Kramer Farms Hard-Boiled Eggs are already cooked and peeled, which means less prep work and more time to turn a familiar ingredient into something unexpected.

The contrast is what makes this recipe especially tasty: crispy, savory egg whites on the outside and a smooth, tangy yolk filling in the center. They look impressive on an appetizer tray, but they’re surprisingly simple to make.

Ingredients

• 6 Kramer Farms Hard-Boiled Eggs (regular or cage free(opens in new tab))
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon pickle juice
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided, plus more for finishing
• A few dashes of hot sauce (optional)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 raw eggs
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
• Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
• Paprika, for garnish
• Fresh chives, finely chopped, for garnish

How to Make Crispy Fried Deviled Eggs

Start by cutting your Kramer Farms Hard-Boiled Eggs in half lengthwise and carefully separating the yolks from the egg whites. Since the eggs are already cooked and peeled, you can skip straight to preparing the filling and crispy coating.

Mash the yolks in a bowl until finely crumbled. Stir in the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, pickle juice, black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and a few dashes of hot sauce if you like a little heat. Mix until creamy and mostly smooth, then set the filling aside while you prepare the egg whites.

For the crispy coating, set up three shallow bowls. Combine the flour with the remaining salt in the first, whisk the raw eggs in the second, and mix the panko breadcrumbs with Parmesan in the third. Coat each hard-boiled egg white first in flour, then in the beaten egg, and finally in the panko-Parmesan mixture. Gently press the breadcrumbs onto the outside to help create an even, crispy coating.

Heat about 1 1/2 inches of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F. Working in small batches, carefully fry the breaded egg whites until they’re crisp and golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate and season lightly with salt while they’re still warm.

Once the egg whites have cooled enough to handle, spoon or pipe the creamy yolk mixture into each center. Finish with a sprinkle of paprika and chopped fresh chives. Your crispy fried deviled eggs are now ready to serve!

Directions

1. Prepare the filling
   Cut the Kramer Farms Hard-Boiled Eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a medium bowl. Mash well with a fork, then stir in the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, pickle juice, black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and hot sauce, if using. Mix until creamy and set aside.
2. Heat the oil
   Add approximately 1 1/2 inches of vegetable or canola oil to a heavy-bottomed pot. Heat to 350°F.
3. Set up the breading station
   Place the flour and remaining salt in one shallow bowl. Whisk the two raw eggs in a second bowl. In a third, combine the panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
4. Bread the egg whites
   Coat each egg white half lightly in flour, followed by the beaten egg and then the panko-Parmesan mixture. Gently press the coating onto the egg whites, shaking off any excess and keeping the center cavity relatively clear.
5. Fry until crispy
   Carefully lower the breaded egg whites into the hot oil in small batches. Fry for about 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate and season lightly with salt.
6. Fill and garnish
   Allow the fried egg whites to cool slightly. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture generously into each center. Garnish with paprika and chopped chives before serving.

Extra Tips from Prime Foods

• Keep the oil close to 350°F while frying. Oil that’s too cool can make the breading absorb excess oil, while oil that’s too hot can brown the coating before it becomes evenly crisp. Choose coconut oil(opens in new tab) for a healthier option.
• When breading the egg whites, focus the coating around the exterior rather than packing breadcrumbs into the center. This leaves plenty of room for the creamy filling.
• For an extra-smooth presentation, place the yolk filling in a piping bag or zip-top bag with one corner snipped off.
• Adjust the hot sauce to suit your preference, or leave it out entirely for a milder appetizer.
• These fried deviled eggs are at their crispiest shortly after frying, so assemble them close to serving time when possible.
