This is rather a neat trick, which removes the yolks from hard-boiled eggs and replaces them with a thick béchamel sauce flavoured, usually, with diced tuna, though you could just as well include cooked chopped ham or chicken. The eggs are reformed around the filling, coated in beaten egg and crumbs, then deep-fried.

They make excellent nibbles to go with drinks.
