- 4 cups vegetable oil for frying
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs(optional)
- 16 ounces pork sausage
- 2 eggs eggs, beaten
- 6 large eggs large eggs
Instructions
Step 1
Hard boil the eggs. Once water is boiling, add eggs and set a timer. Immediately remove eggs and place them in a cold water bath.
Step 2
Once eggs are cooked and shells are removed, set up an assembly line with the beaten eggs, sausage meat, and bread crumbs.
Step 3
Take about 1/4 cup of ground sausage, form a disk, and shape it around a hard-boiled egg.
Step 4
Dip the sausage-covered egg in the beaten egg.
Step 5
Roll the sausage-covered egg in the bread crumbs until generously coated.
Step 6
Once all eggs are coated in bread crumbs, heat oil over medium-high heat. Test oil by dropping a few bread crumbs; it's ready when they sizzle.
Step 7
Drop two eggs at a time into the hot oil and cook until very golden brown, ensuring the sausage is fully cooked.
Step 8
Remove fried eggs from oil, place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Cut in half or quarters and serve hot.
