This fried deviled egg recipe takes the fan-favorite appetizer to a whole new level. As recipe tester Julia Levy says, "I’m a huge deviled egg fan, and I never thought they were missing anything until I tried them CRISPY." The whites are dredged in a panko breadcrumb mixture and then fried until crispy before being topped with a classic creamy deviled egg mixture for an explosion of textures and flavor.

"This isn’t your typical deviled egg: it’s like a katsu deviled egg—dare I say, 'tastes like chicken?'" explains recipe developer Catherine Jessee. "But truly, for haters of deviled eggs, this will sway you in the devilish direction. It’s a little richer, a lot crispier, and unforgettable. [Serving with] hot sauce is a must."

Ingredients

  • canola oil, for frying

  • 6 large hard boiled eggs

  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise (such as Duke’s)

  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped dill pickle relish

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 large eggs, beaten

  • 1 cup panko (Japanese-style bread crumbs)

  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  2. Heat 1 1/2 inches of oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C) over medium-high.

  3. While oil is heating, cut hard-cooked eggs in half lengthwise, carefully remove yolks, and place in a small bowl. Using a fork, mash together yolks, mayonnaise, relish, Dijon, black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt until smooth and combined. Transfer to a piping bag or zip-top plastic bag. Set aside until ready to use.

  4. Place flour in a small bowl. In another bowl, place beaten eggs. In a third bowl, mix together panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, cayenne, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Dredge each egg white half in flour, gently shaking to remove excess flour before dipping it in the beaten eggs. Lift egg white half from beaten egg and allow it to drip until excess liquid has fallen off. Finally, dredge in panko bread crumb mixture. Set aside on a clean plate.
