Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 3 boiled eggs
  • Ground meat mixture (beef and pork) as needed
  • Some flour
  • 1-2 raw eggs
  • 1 cup finely ground breadcrumbs
  • Cooking oil as needed
  • Some ketchup
  • Some mustard
  • Some mayonnaise

Recipe 🍳

  1. Boil the eggs to your preferred doneness (hard-boiled or soft-boiled), then peel and set aside.
  2. Flatten the meatball mixture into a patty, place a boiled egg in the center, and wrap it tightly, shaping it into a round ball.
  3. Finely grind store-bought breadcrumbs using a blender or mortar.
  4. Coat the meat-wrapped egg in flour, then beaten raw egg, then finely ground breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.
  5. Heat oil to about 180°C, then gently fry the prepared eggs until the internal meat is fully cooked and heated through.
  6. Once the internal meat is fully cooked and reaches at least 60°C, remove from oil, cut in half, and serve with ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise.
  1. Wrap the boiled eggs completely with the meatball mixture, forming a round shape.
  2. Coat evenly in flour, beaten egg, and finely ground breadcrumbs in that order.
  3. Deep-fry at 180°C without burning until the inside is fully cooked, then drizzle with sauces and serve.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Using finely ground breadcrumbs (grind them once more) creates a finer, more even coating and a prettier fried appearance.
  • Because the breading and meat layer are thick, frying at too high a temperature will burn the outside while leaving the inside raw; fry over medium-low heat gently.
  • Serving with ketchup, mustard, and a drizzle of rich mayonnaise enhances the flavor significantly.
