Sausage meat coating
300gm Good quality sausage meat
4 Large free range eggs
1 Sprig fresh sage - leaves stripped and finely chopped.
1 Tsp Chopped fresh thyme
1 Large Spring onion - finely chopped
陆 Teasp Mustard powder
Pinch cayenne pepper
陆 Teasp Sea salt
A good shake of black pepper

For the frying
100 - 120gm Panko breadcrumbs
Plain flour for coating
2 Large eggs, beaten
Vegetable oil for deep fat frying.

路 Place the eggs in a pan with cold water and bring to the boil, simmer for a further 8 minutes.
路 Cool the eggs down immediately with cold running water or in a bowl of icy water, peel. Set aside.
路 Place all the ingredients for the sausage meat coating in a bowl and using your hands mix well together.
路 Divide the mixture into 4 and flatten into rough circles.
路 Place an egg in the middle of each circle and carefully fold the sausage meat around until the egg is completely encased.
路 Roll all the balls lightly in flour.
路 Coat in beaten egg and then roll firmly in the breadcrumbs making sure that they are completely covered in the crumb.
路 Re roll lightly through the egg again and then more crumbs.
路 Heat the oil to 170掳C. If you are not using a deep fat fryer fill a robust pan up to a level deep enough to take the eggs but do watch the temperature carefully to avoid any overheating!
路 Lower the eggs into the pan and fry for 7 to 8 minutes until golden brown and crisp, the sausage meat must be completely cooked so don't have the fat too hot!
路 Drain on kitchen paper.
路 Serve with a good sprinkling of salt.
