Crispy Hard-Boiled Eggs

A tasty idea for crispy hard-boiled eggs as an economical appetizer that we can cook in a personalized way, meaning that …

We hard boil the eggs, calculating a shorter cooking time than the classic 7/8 minutes, and finish the preparation with frying. This way, we can also get eggs with a soft, runny yolk depending on our personal taste!

With a picky child, it’s impossible to achieve this, so I preferred to have a classic hard-boiled egg even after a few minutes of deep frying!

  • I also add some parsley, but basil or chives are also fine, and set aside.

  • I boil the eggs starting in cold water and calculating about 4/5 minutes from the moment of boiling.

  • I let them cool under a stream of cold water and then peel them gently.

  • In a tall saucepan about 8 inches in diameter, I pour plenty of vegetable oil.

    Peanut oil is the one that reaches the highest smoke point and is recommended for proper frying.

  • Meanwhile, as the vegetable oil reaches the right temperature (about 340°F/356°F), I pass the HARD-BOILED EGGS first in flour, then in beaten egg, and then in the coarse BREADING of sandwich bread, speck, and parsley.

    I press well to ensure it doesn’t disperse during cooking and continue preparing all the indicated eggs.

  • I insert a wooden skewer into the hot oil, and if small bubbles form around it, the temperature is right. I immerse the breaded eggs, browning them on all sides until they are golden and very crispy.

  • The crispy hard-boiled eggs should then be placed on kitchen absorbent paper to remove excess oil, and I serve them hot with a small mixed salad of greens.

  • Tasty, crispy, and flavorful, the crispy hard-boiled eggs are appetizing and very simple to make!

    Enjoy your meal!
