Method
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F.
- Slice the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise, remove yolks to a bowl, and set whites aside.
- Dredge egg whites in flour, dip into beaten eggs, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.
- Fry the breaded egg whites in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes, then drain on paper towels.
- Mix egg yolks with mayonnaise, dill pickle relish, yellow mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Pipe or spoon the yolk mixture into the fried egg whites and sprinkle with paprika before serving.
Notes
- Tip 1: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll be good for up to 3 days, but they’re best enjoyed fresh!
- Tip 2: While I don’t recommend freezing these, if you do, fry them first, then freeze them. You can reheat them in the oven before serving for a crispy texture.
- Tip 3: Serve these delightful treats with a side of spicy dipping sauce or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
- Tip 4: Use a colorful platter to display your Deep Fried Deviled Eggs. A sprinkle of herbs or microgreens on top adds a beautiful touch.
- Tip 5: Choose oils with a high smoke point, like canola or peanut oil, for deep frying. This prevents burning and gives a better flavor.
