Fried Catfish Deviled Eggs Recipes

FRIED DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and gently lower 10 of the eggs into the water. Set a timer for 12 minutes. Bring back to a boil, then reduce the heat to a vigorous simmer. When the timer goes off, drain and immediately place the eggs in a bowl of ice water. Let sit for 10 minutes. Peel the eggs, cut them in half and separate the whites from the yolks.
• Transfer the yolks to a medium bowl. Add the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mash with a whisk until combined, then whisk vigorously to smooth out any big lumps. Transfer the yolk mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Fill a large heavy-bottomed pot with 2 inches of oil, attach a deep-frying thermometer and heat to 350 degrees F. Put the flour on a plate and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Crack the remaining 2 eggs into a shallow dish and beat lightly with 1/4 cup water. Put the panko on another plate. Line a third plate with paper towels.
• Roll the egg whites first in the flour, then dip in the egg wash and coat in the panko. Fry in 2 batches, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on the paper towel-lined plate round-side up and sprinkle with salt while hot.
• Turn the egg whites over, fill with the yolk mixture and top with the paprika and jalapenos. (The fried eggs can be filled and served anywhere from warm to room temperature.)

FRIED DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Add the eggs to a large saucepan filled with cold water. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let sit in the water for 14 minutes.
• Peel the eggs and slice lengthwise. Remove the yolks to a bowl. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon, lemon zest, chives, hot sauce and salt and pepper. Mash the yolks together with a wooden spoon. Taste and adjust seasonings, if needed. Fill the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, add 1 cup of flour and season with salt and pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs, in a third bowl, add 1 cup of panko.
• Dip the eggs into the flour, then the egg and finally into the panko. Gently put the eggs into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel lined sheet tray. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with parsley.

FRIED HAM DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place the eggs in a large wide pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer 10 minutes. Drain and run under cold water until cool.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add the ham and fry until browned on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a paper towel¿lined plate, then finely chop.
• Peel and halve the eggs. Carefully scoop out the yolks into a medium bowl and place the whites on a plate. Add the mayonnaise, relish and Sriracha to the bowl with the yolks; season with salt and pepper and mix and mash until smooth (or use a food processor to speed up this process). Stir in about three-quarters of the fried ham.
• Transfer the yolk mixture to a piping bag and pipe into the egg whites. Top with the roasted red peppers and the remaining fried ham. Garnish with microgreens.
