Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a small bowl, whisk together the coarse-grain mustard, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper until thoroughly combined. Set aside for serving. (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Prepare two shallow dishes: one with the beaten eggs and the other with the instant mashed potato flakes. (2 minutes)

03

Step
15 mins

Divide the corned beef hash into 4 equal portions. Gently mold each portion around a hard-boiled egg, ensuring the egg is completely encased in the hash mixture. (15 minutes)

04

Step
10 mins

Carefully roll each corned beef-encased egg in the beaten egg, followed by a thorough coating of mashed potato flakes, pressing gently to adhere. (10 minutes)

05

Step
10 mins

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature. (10 minutes)

06

Step
5 mins

Carefully lower two eggs at a time into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd. Fry for 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, rotating occasionally for even cooking. (5 minutes)

07

Step
2 mins

Remove the fried eggs with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining eggs. (2 minutes)

08

Step
2 mins

Slice the Dinosaur Eggs lengthwise to reveal the perfectly cooked egg inside. Serve immediately with the prepared mustard sauce for dipping. (2 minutes)

For a smoother sauce, use Dijon mustard instead of coarse-grain.
Ensure the oil temperature remains consistent for even cooking.
If you want a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce to the mustard sauce.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in an air fryer or oven for best results.
