Scotch Eggs

This was given to me by my friend, Mary, in Texas. This has become a bit of a regular Sunday breakfast for us.

A hard boiled egg, wrapped with sage sausage, rolled in breadcrumbs (I actually like cornflake crumbs better) then deep fried. Served with some stone ground mustard, honey or the dip of your choice.

NEED:
1 pound tube of sausage will cover about 8 medium sized eggs.
(I get medium eggs to do this with - big ones just get too big.)
Boil the eggs and let them cool but not get cold and dry them if still damp. The sausage will stay better if the eggs are dry. Wrap the egg is a layer of sausage. Press to seal the seams shut. Roll in breadcrumbs or crushed cornflakes. Place in deep fryer, which should be hot before placing the eggs in. DO NOT DROP INTO THE OIL. This could cause you to get burned. Lower into oil with a large spoon or ladle. Deep fry about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to paper towel to drain. Serve while still warm.

ENJOY!
