This is a post in response to a request. I do remember my mom making these once though and think these would be a wonderful addition to a brunch or a Scottish-themed meal!(prep/cook time does not include time to hard-cook eggs)
Ingredients:
6 hard-boiled eggs, well-chilled
1 lb sausage meat
2 tablespoons minced parsley
1/2 teaspoon ground sage
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
1/2-3/4 cup breadcrumbs
vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions:
1. Peel hard-cooked eggs.
2. Make sure the eggs are well-chilled so that the sausage meat will cling to them more easily.
3. Combine sausage, parsley, sage, and pepper in large bowl; mix well.
4. Press meat mixture evenly around eggs, keeping the oval shape.
5. Sprinkle eggs with flour, coating lightly all over.
6. Dip into beaten egg; then roll in bread crumbs to coat.
7. Pour oil into deep-fryer, or large heavy saucepan, to fill 1/2 full.
8. Heat to 350 on deep-fat frying thermometer.
9. Cook 1 egg at a time, for about 4-5 minutes until meat is well-browned.
10. Drain on paper towels; cool.
11. Refrigerate.
12. Slice to serve.
