Boil the 4 eggs in boiling water for 6 minutes, then transfer them to ice water.
Peel and dry the eggs so the meat coating sticks to the surface.
Knead the beef mince with salt and wrap it around the eggs in an even layer.
Coat the wrapped eggs in breadcrumbs and chill for 10 minutes so the coating holds.
Fry in 170°C oil for a total of 6 minutes, turning as they cook.
Wait 4 minutes before cutting, otherwise the hot meat coating separates.
💡 Tip: Cooling the eggs before they become fully hard set gives a better center.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Place lemon wedges and parsley sprigs along the edge of the serving plate for color.
