Ingredients
- 8 hard-cooked eggs peeled and at room temperature
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 pounds bulk pork sausage
- 1 cup dry breadcrumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs beaten
- peanut oil for deep-frying
Instructions
- Coat each hard-cooked egg with flour.
- Divide the sausage into 8 equal portions. Make a patty out of each portion of sausage, and use it to coat each egg completely.
- Mix together the breadcrumbs, sage, and salt.
- Dip the sausage-coated eggs into the beaten eggs, and then roll in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat the oil to 375°F in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot. Deep-fry the eggs, 4 at a time, for a minimum of 7 minutes. Remove the eggs from the oil, and place on a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet to drain. Serve hot or cold.
