1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 large egg, beaten
Vegetable oil for frying

For the Filling

3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1/4 cup mayonnaise

👨‍🍳Directions

1Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch.
2Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover and remove from heat.
3Let stand for 12 minutes, then transfer eggs to an ice water bath and cool completely, about 5 minutes.
4Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise.

12Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten egg, and one with panko mixed with paprika, salt, and pepper.
13Coat each filled egg in flour, then dip in beaten egg, then coat with panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
14Heat 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 350°F.
15Fry the breaded eggs in batches, turning once, until golden brown and crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
