Method
Start with the béchamel sauce: melt the butter in a saucepan and pour in the sifted flour, cook for 5 minutes, then pour in the milk and cream, a pinch of salt and mix with a whisk. Cook the béchamel sauce for about 15 minutes until it is quite thick.
Boil the eggs for 8 minutes by adding a tablespoon of vinegar to the water. Cool under cold running water and peel them. Split the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthways. Empty them with a teaspoon by putting the yolks in a bowl together with the bechamel, add grated Parmigiano, a sprinkle of black ground pepper and mix.
Stuff the half hard-boiled egg whites with the bechamel mixture and reassemble the egg with the other half egg white, as if they were sandwiches.
Place in the refrigerator for 1 hour to compact them.
Flour the eggs, then in the beaten eggs and then cover with breadcrumbs, heat the oil, fry until golden then drain on a plate lined with kitchen paper and serve.
