Directions
-
Place a folded cloth towel on a stable surface. Place one hard-boiled egg on the towel.
-
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the egg lengthwise in half while it is still in the shell, cutting through the shell and egg completely.
-
Repeat this process with the remaining eggs, ensuring the shells remain intact.
-
Gently scoop the egg whites and yolks out of the shells using a spoon, keeping the shells empty and undamaged.
-
In a small bowl, mash the removed egg whites and yolks together until finely chopped.
-
Stir in the sour cream, 1 tablespoon of the bread crumbs, and the chopped green onion.
-
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.
-
Spoon the egg mixture back into the empty egg shells, packing them firmly but gently.
-
Place the remaining 1 tablespoon of bread crumbs on a small plate.
-
Dip the flat, cut side of each stuffed egg shell into the breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to coat.
-
Melt butter or margarine in a skillet over medium heat.
-
Place the stuffed egg shells flat-side down in the skillet.
-
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the breadcrumb coating is golden brown and crisp.
-
Serve immediately while warm.

Note
Safety Tip: Cutting hard-boiled eggs in their shells can be tricky and may cause the shell to crack unpredictably. Start with more eggs than needed to account for any breakage. Use a sharp, heavy knife and work slowly to maintain control.
Storage: These stuffed egg shells are best served immediately after frying. If preparing ahead, assemble the filling and stuff the shells, but wait to bread and fry them until just before serving to maintain crispness.
Variations: Add a pinch of paprika, dill, or mustard to the egg mixture for extra flavor. You can also use panko breadcrumbs for a crunchier texture.
Ingredient Note: Ensure eggs are fully hard-boiled before attempting to cut them in the shell to prevent runny yolks from making the filling too wet.
