Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1 pound of sausage meat
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
Begin by putting the eggs in a pot of cold water and bringing them to a boil. Boil the eggs for 8 minutes, then remove them from the heat and run them under cold water. Once cooled, carefully peel the eggs and set aside.
Take the sausage meat and divide it into 6 equal portions. Take one portion and flatten it in your hands. Place the boiled egg in the center and wrap the sausage meat around it, pressing it together and making sure the egg is completely coated. Roll the sausage-wrapped egg in flour and then in the beaten egg, followed by the breadcrumbs. Repeat this process with the remaining 5 eggs.
Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the eggs in the hot oil and fry for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the eggs from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.
