Instructions:
-
Prepare the eggs:
-
Carefully separate the egg yolks from the whites, ensuring you don’t break the yolks. You can save the whites for another use (like making an omelette or meringue).
-
Gently place the yolks in a bowl of cold water for a few minutes to firm them up a bit. This will help keep them intact while frying.
-
-
Set up a breading station:
-
In one shallow bowl, add the all-purpose flour.
-
In a second shallow bowl, crack the 2 eggs and beat them lightly.
-
In a third shallow bowl, add the panko breadcrumbs. You can season them with a pinch of salt and pepper, or even some garlic powder if you like.
-
-
Bread the yolks:
-
Carefully dredge each yolk in the flour, making sure it’s fully coated.
-
Dip the floured yolk into the beaten eggs, letting the excess drip off.
-
Coat the yolk with the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure it sticks.
-
-
Fry the yolks:
-
Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium-high heat. The oil is hot enough when a breadcrumb dropped into it sizzles immediately.
-
Gently lower the breaded yolks into the hot oil using a slotted spoon or tongs.
-
Fry the yolks for about 1-2 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them, as they cook quickly.
-
-
Drain and serve:
-
Once golden and crispy, carefully remove the yolks from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
-
Season with a pinch of salt right away while they’re still hot.
-
-
Serve:
-
Arrange the deep-fried egg yolks on a plate and serve with lemon wedges or dipping sauces, if desired.
-
Tips:
-
Be gentle when handling the yolks to avoid breaking them.
-
You can add herbs or spices to the breadcrumbs for extra flavor.
-
If you want a more gourmet touch, serve them with a drizzle of truffle oil or sprinkle some parmesan on top.
These deep-fried egg yolks make a perfect appetizer for a party, and their crunchy exterior with rich, creamy yolk inside is sure to impress!
