I love duck eggs , was just a little fed up with eating them just boiled. I thought of my other deep fried egg recipe on here, but wanted something a little different. Then I thought of making Scotch Eggs with them, but decided to just use flour, egg and breadcrumb mix instead.
They make awesome very yellow sponge cakes too. They are heavier than chicken eggs, they usually work out about two duck eggs to three chicken eggs, but can vary hugely in size so weigh then up against chicken eggs.

Steps

15 mins

1

First make sure that the duck eggs in their shells are clean. If not wash them carefully down. Put a pot with water to the boil. When the water is simmering add the duck eggs, cook them for ten minutes at least.
2

In a bowl season the breadcrumbs with the salt, pepper and paprika, you can add the all purpose seasoning if you like, mix it well. Put the flour into a second bowl. Then whisk the chicken egg into a third bowl.
3

When your eggs are boiled, drain away the boiling water, crack the eggs and run the eggs under cold water. Peel the eggs and dry them with a kitchen towel. Heat enough oil or heat deep fat fryer to cover the eggs.
4

First roll the dried egg in the flour than the whisked chicken egg, then the breadcrumbs. Repeat this step one more time. So that the eggs are well covered. Leave the eggs to stand for 3-5 minutes.
5

When the oil is hot enough gently lower the eggs I to the fat and cook for about 2 minutes until the breadcrumbs are crisp and brown, Drain them on kitchen towel after frying
6

In the meantime make this simple sauce, mix the herbs with the honey and creme fraiche. If you like you can add the mustard. I love it but not everyone does. There should be just a hint of mustard so take care when using it.
