Ingredients

6 hard-cooked eggs, cooked and shelled
1 (4 1/4 ounce) can sardines in oil, drained (yep, that's the one)
4 tablespoons lemon juice
1 dash Tabasco sauce
1 -2 tablespoon mayonnaise
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
1 large egg, slightly beaten
vegetable oil (for deep frying)
salt & pepper
fresh parsley sprig, to garnish

Directions

1

Cut the eggs in half lengthwise, scoop out the yolks, and push the yolks through a fine strainer in a small bowl.
2

Mash the sardines with a fork and add to the egg yolks. Stir in the lemon juice, Tabasco, and mayonnaise. Season with S&P.
3

Spoon the filling into the egg white halves, mounding it up well. Dip each egg half into the flour, then into the egg, then into the bread crumbs.
4

Heat the oil to 350° and deep-fry the egg halves for 2 minutes. (I could do four at a time) until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve hot, garnished with parsley sprigs.
