Place the 6 large eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat, cover it with a lid, and let the eggs stand for 10-12 minutes. Immediately drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool completely for at least 5 minutes.
⏱️ 20 min - 2
Once the eggs are cool, carefully peel them. Slice each hard-boiled egg in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out the yolks into a medium mixing bowl, ensuring the egg white halves remain intact. Place the hollowed-out egg white halves on a plate and set aside.
⏱️ 10 min - 3
To the mashed egg yolks, add the mayonnaise, stone-ground Dijon mustard, and Dan-O's Original Seasoning. Mash with a fork until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stir in the finely diced dill pickles and finely chopped jalapeño. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Take each hollowed-out egg white half. First, dredge it thoroughly in the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat generously with Panko breadcrumbs, gently pressing to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well. Place the breaded egg whites on a clean plate.

In a deep pot or Dutch oven, pour the cooking oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F. Use a kitchen thermometer to monitor the temperature for best results.

Carefully place 2-3 breaded egg white halves into the hot oil using a slotted spoon or spider, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for approximately 60-90 seconds, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove the fried egg whites from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining breaded egg whites.
