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 heat.
- 3
While the oil heats, slice the hard-cooked eggs in half lengthwise, carefully remove the yolks, and place them in a small bowl. Using a fork, mash the yolks with the mayonnaise, relish, Dijon, black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt until smooth and combined. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag or zip-top plastic bag. Set aside until needed.

Place the flour in a small bowl. In another bowl, add the beaten eggs. In a third bowl, combine the panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, cayenne, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Dredge each egg white half in the flour, gently shake off the excess, then dip it in the beaten eggs. Lift the egg white half from the beaten egg and let it drip until the excess has fallen off. Finally, dredge it in the panko bread crumb mixture. Set aside on a clean plate.

Working in 2 batches, fry the coated egg whites in the hot oil until golden brown, about 30 seconds to 1 minute, adjusting the heat as needed to keep it at least 360 degrees F (180 degrees C). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

Pipe the egg yolk mixture evenly (about 1 tablespoon each) into the center divot of the fried eggs. Garnish with chives and paprika. Serve warm with hot sauce. Recipe developed by Catherine Jessee.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
