Directions
Directions
- Boil 4 eggs for 6½–7 minutes for jammy yolks or 9–10 minutes for hard-boiled yolks. Transfer immediately to an ice bath, cool completely, and peel.
- Mix the sausage meat with the mustard (if using), sage or thyme, salt, and pepper. Divide into 4 equal portions.
- Flatten one portion of sausage into a thin oval and wrap it completely around one peeled egg. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
- Roll each sausage-covered egg in the flour.
- Dip each into the beaten egg.
- Coat evenly with the breadcrumbs, pressing gently so they adhere.
- Heat oil to 340°F (170°C) and fry for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and the sausage reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
- Drain on paper towels for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve warm or chilled with Dijon mustard, English mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce.
