Into a mixing bowl, carefully scoop egg yolks from the whites of the eggs; set whites aside. Add mayonnaise, relish and mustard to yolks; lightly season with salt and pepper; mash together until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasonings, to taste. Cover with plastic wrap; set aside.
Set up an assembly line with whites of the eggs, flour in a shallow baking dish, eggs in a mixing bowl, and breadcrumbs and crushed crackers mixed together in another shallow baking dish.
Dredge whites of the eggs into the flour, eggs and finally the panko/cracker mixture, shaking off any excess after each addition. Repeat until all the whites of the eggs have been breaded.
Fill a tall pot with 2 inches of oil; preheat to 350 degrees.
Carefully add whites of the eggs to the pot, a few at a time; fry on each side for 2 - 3 minutes or until golden brown. Drain fried whites onto a paper towel; lightly season with salt and pepper. Transfer whites to a cooling rack to prevent them from getting soggy; repeat until all have been fried.
Scoop about 1-2 T. yolk mixture into each well or scoop mixture into a piping bag and pipe into the wells.
Garnish each egg with a sprinkle of chives. Serve.
