A delicious party snack featuring hard-boiled eggs stuffed with a creamy chive cream cheese filling, coated in panko breadcrumbs, and fried to a golden crisp with smoky bacon crumbles on top.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg beaten with 2 tablespoons water (egg wash)
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil, about 2 cups for frying

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pan and remove it from heat. Let eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Drain and place eggs in ice water for 5 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
  3. Carefully peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out the yolks into a bowl, keeping the whites intact for stuffing. Set the whites aside on a plate.
  4. Mash the yolks with 4 oz softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix in finely chopped chives (reserve a few for garnish).
  5. Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half generously with the yolk and cream cheese mixture, mounding slightly.
  6. Place 1/2 cup all-purpose flour in one shallow bowl, the egg wash in another, and 1 cup panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
  7. Dredge each stuffed egg half in flour, tapping off excess. Then dip into the egg wash, and coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs.
  8. Heat about 2 cups of vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  9. Fry the coated eggs in batches, cooking each side for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to turn gently. Drain on paper towels.
  10. Sprinkle the fried eggs with crumbled bacon and reserved chopped chives. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Chill stuffed eggs for 15 minutes before coating to help the filling firm up and stick better. Maintain oil temperature around 350°F (175°C) to avoid greasy or burnt coating. Use panko breadcrumbs for best crunch. Baking alternative: bake coated eggs at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
