Uva a la monachina

Uova alla monachina is a traditional dish originating from Campania. The dish consists of stuffed and fried boiled eggs. Once boiled, the eggs are shelled and the whites are separated from the yolks. The yolks are mixed with bechamel sauce, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. The mixture is placed into egg white halves, and it's topped with the other egg white halves. The eggs are then sprinkled with flour, dipped in beaten eggs, rolled in breadcrumbs, and fried in olive oil until golden and crisp. Once prepared, these stuffed fried eggs are drained on paper towels and served while still hot. Uova alla monachina is traditionally served as an appetizer, and it's especially popular during the Easter festivities.
