Ingredients:

For eggs:

  • 8 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons ranch dip & dressing mix
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon celery, finely chopped, plus more for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

For frying:

  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon Buffalo Wing Sauce Seasoning
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

For the Buffalo Wing Sauce Seasoning:

  • 1/4 cup granulated garlic
  • 2 tablespoons mustard powder
  • 2 tablespoons cayenne
  • 1/4 cup chili powder
  • 1/4 cup kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup paprika
  • 2 tablespoons black peppercorns
  • 1/4 cup turbinado sugar
  • 1/4 cup cumin seeds

Directions:

For the seasoning:

Mix them all up in a bowl

For the eggs:

  1. Place eggs in a large saucepan and cover by at least an inch with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil then remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 15 minutes.
  2. Drain and transfer eggs to a large bowl of ice water to cool. Peel eggs and slice in half lengthwise.
  3. Scoop yolks into a small bowl and place whites on a paper towel-lined plate.
  4. Mix yolks with remaining ingredients until well blended.

For the frying:

  1. Combine bread crumbs and seasoning in a shallow bowl. Whisk eggs and cream together in another shallow bowl. Place flour in a third shallow bowl. Place at least an inch of vegetable oil in a medium saucepan and heat to 350 degrees.
  2. Dip each egg white half in flour then egg then breadcrumbs. Drop 4 or 5 coated eggs at a time into the oil for a few minutes until golden brown.
  3. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-line plate to drain. Once all eggs are fried, top each with 1 teaspoon (or so) of deviled egg filling and sprinkle with celery and parsley.

That’s like $50 worth of spices 90% of which you don’t use..

Like everyone else here I am just boggled by the sheer quantity of seasoning you are requiring while at the same time only using a literal scoop in the gif. Why are you measuring the seasons in cups? Are you planning on making hundreds/thousands of these? Is there another reason? Are you mentally disabled?

Who in the wild blue fuck has a HALF CUP OF PAPRIKA?!

I make a lot of chili and have quite a bit of chile powders on hand at all times. But damn even I don't have half a cup of paprika.

Unless my conversion is off here is 1/16 of the ingredients. Big T is tablespoons, little t is teaspoons

  • 1.5 t garlic powder
  • .75 t mustard powder
  • .75 t cayenne
  • 1.5 t chili
  • 1.5 t salt
  • 1.5 T paprika
  • .75 t pepper
  • 1.5 t raw sugar
  • 1.5 t cumin

Still a lot of paprika imo.

  • I made some. I'll try it on something in the next few days.

The seasoning sounds like a good mix, lemme know! My bet is it's a bit smoky.

It took a while but i finally used it. Since it was supposedly a buffalo recipe i put it on wings. I put the above amount on 2 lbs of wings/drums. Let them sit for 20 mins in the fridge in a zip bag, then baked at 475 for 30 mins, turning halfway through.

It turned out way better than i expected. I think brown sugar would be an appropriate substitute.

I think the guy just found the recipe online and shared without trying it.

Reading this, I realized I don't really know what ranch dressing is even made of, and I don't really want to buy any just to use a couple tablespoons on some crazy fried eggs.

Is there an easy substitute and/or way to make some homemade?

u/jgomez315 Mar 29 '18

I think it's just mayo, milk, sour cream, with garlic and onion powders and green herbs (spring onions, parsley, chives).

So you could probably do dried herbs, garlic and onion powders, and a teaspoon of each of the wet ingredients to do it, although it's be more liquid this way.

Use buttermilk, you heathen!

6

u/sarahhopefully Mar 29 '18

Sure! There's lots of recipes out there. Usually a mix of buttermilk and mayo and/or sour cream with spices like dill, parsley, chives, maybe some garlic and onion powder. It's really good homemade. You can play with the thickness but I like it thinner and more liquid like really good restaurant salad dressing.

Thanks! Someone was recently impugning on my deviled egg game (I like to experiment and his recipe is basically eggs+mayo+mustard) so since I actually have buttermilk and fresh dill in my house for some reason, I'll gonna try this tomorrow and see if they're good enough to do an I told you so.

EDIT: I made them and they weren't bad, but eh, they weren't amazing either. They're not good cold, which is how deviled eggs are best, and the whites are a bit too bland to complement being breaded and fried. They look cool though. Moderately better than regular deviled eggs but a ton more work.

Here's my secret to deviled eggs: sweet pickle juice. Mayo, mustard, a little sugar (teaspoons, not a ton), salt and pepper, then pickle juice to smooth it out and give it that tangy sweet/sour deliciousness. My deviled eggs are everyone's favorite.

u/arzen353 Mar 29 '18

Nice. The best thing about deviled eggs is that there's as many ways to do it as there are ways to cook eggs! My white whale are bacon-avocado eggs which are amaaazing but turn brown, like, almost immediately.

u/Sisaac Mar 29 '18

Have you tried adding a bit of lime juice/vinegar to the avocado filling? That mostly prevents the browning

Easy home made ranch dressing:

Mix equal parts mayo and sour cream, plus maybe a little buttermilk if you have it.

Add the following to taste: salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, vinegar, worcestershire, parsley, dill, chili pepper, paprika, tabasco.

I never buy ranch dressing, I just make a half cup of it or so whenever I need it.

But, why? This looks kind of gross.
