Best Lemon Caper Deviled Eggs With Fried Oysters Recipes

LEMON CAPER DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil over high heat. With a ladle, slowly lower the eggs into the water, one by one. Reduce the heat to a low boil and cook for 10 minutes. Drain. When they are cool enough to handle, peel the eggs.
• Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a food processor. Arrange the whites, cut-side up, on a serving platter. Blitz the egg yolks by themselves for about 10 seconds. To the yolks, add the mayo, mustard, capers, salt, pepper, garlic and lemon zest. Process until well blended and smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary.
• Transfer the mixture to a resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag, then use scissors to snip off the tip of one of the bottom corners to form a small hole. Pipe the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites or store the egg whites and yolk mixture separately in the fridge until ready to fill and serve, one to two days. Garnish the filled eggs with paprika and parsley and serve immediately.

FRIED OYSTERS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees F.
• Whisk together the buttermilk, garlic powder, paprika and hot sauce in a casserole dish. Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, salt and pepper together in a separate casserole dish.
• Add the oysters to the buttermilk and let soak. Then remove, letting the excess drip off, and dredge through the cornmeal mixture, tapping off the excess. Fry in the hot oil in batches, until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve hot with the Remoulade Sauce.
• Mix together the mayonnaise, mustard, paprika, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce in a small bowl until well combined. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving.

KATIE'S DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil. With a ladle, slowly lower the eggs into the water, one by one. Reduce the heat to a low boil and cook for 10 minutes. Drain. When the eggs are cool enough to handle, remove the shells.
• Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a food processor. Arrange the whites cut-side up on a serving platter. To the food processor, add the mayo, mustard, salt and pepper. Process until well blended and smooth, then transfer to a resealable plastic bag. With scissors, snip off a bottom corner from the bag. Using the bag like a pastry bag, pipe the yolk mixture into the egg whites. Sprinkle with paprika. Cover loosely and chill until ready to serve.

FRIED EGG AND OYSTER SANDWICH

Steps:

• For the pancetta: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the pancetta. Cook until the pancetta is crisp; remove to a plate lined with paper towels.
• For the panko-crusted green tomatoes and fried oysters: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Fit a baking sheet with a wire rack.
• Fill a high-sided medium saute pan halfway with canola oil and heat until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 350 degrees F.
• Put the flour in one shallow bowl and the whisked eggs in another and sprinkle both with salt and pepper. Put the panko in a third shallow bowl. Bread each tomato slice by dusting with seasoned flour, dipping into the egg wash and coating with the panko crumbs. Place onto the prepared baking sheet, drizzle with the olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake until golden, about 15 minutes.
• Dip your oysters into the seasoned flour. Fry in the canola oil for about a minute; remove to a plate lined with paper towels.
• For the eggs and frisee salad: In a nonstick skillet, add some canola oil and heat over medium heat. Fry your eggs until the yolks are just set; remove to a plate. Toss your frisee with the sage, lemon juice and a pinch of salt and you are ready to build.
• Using your crusted tomatoes as your base, add a slice of pancetta. Top with an egg, some frisee, an oyster and a second tomato.
