4 large eggs
8 oz. minced sausage meat
2 spring onions, finely chopped
1 tsp. finely chopped fresh thyme
3 tsp. chopped fresh chives
1 Tbs. finely chopped fresh parsley
plain flour seasoned with salt & cracked pepper
1 small egg, beaten
toasted breadcrumbs
oil for deep frying

Hard-boil the eggs by covering them in cold water, bringing it to the boil,
simmering gently for 9 minutes and cooling them under cold running water.
Next mix the sausage meat with the spring onions and herbs and season well.
Shell the cooled eggs (hint: place them individually in a towel and gently
roll them against a cutting board to crack the shell). Coat each one with
some of the seasoned flour. Divide the sausage meat into four portions and
pat each piece out on a floured surface to a shape roughly 5x3 inches. Now
place an egg in the center of each piece and carefully gather up the sausage
meat to cover the egg completely. Seal one by one, first in beaten egg wash
and then in the breadcrumbs.

Heat oil in a deep frying pan up to a temperature of 350F. Fry the coated
eggs in the oil for 6-8 minutes, turning frequently until they are nicely
browned. Drain on plain brown paper.
