Fried Oyster Deviled Eggs

steps

1. Prepare the deviled eggs: In a large pot, place eggs and cover completely in cold water. Over high heat, bring to a rolling boil and set a timer to cook eggs for exactly 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, remove pot from heat, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes.
2. Prepare an ice bath: Fill a pot or large bowl with ice and water. Transfer eggs to ice bath and let sit for 10 minutes. Shell eggs and slice in half, lengthwise. Remove egg yolks, reserving in a small bowl. Place egg whites upside down on a dish towel to dry.
3. Make filling: In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip egg yolks on high speed for 3 minutes until pale yellow and airy. Add mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, and spices, and continue beating until smooth and fluffy. Add the vegetables to the mixture and mix on low speed for 1 minute. Season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
4. Transfer deviled egg mixture to a piping bag with a star tip. Evenly pipe 1 tablespoon of mixture into the 40 egg shell halves. Store in refrigerator while you prepare the fried oysters.
5. Prepare fried oysters: In a shallow bowl or dish, whisk together cornmeal and tempura flour. Working one at a time dredge oysters in flour mixture.
6. In a fryer or stock pot, heat oil to 375 degrees. Carefully add oysters to oil and cook until golden and crisp, about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer  cooked oysters on paper towel to drain.
7. Garnish oysters on top of each deviled egg with pickled okra and minced chives.
