Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups oil for frying or as needed
  • 8 large boiled eggs
  • 2- lbs Jimmy Dean Hot sausage
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour or as needed
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups panko bread crumbs or as needed

Instructions
 

  • Divide sausage into 8 balls
  • Lay a piece of plastic wrap on a flat work surface. Place 1 sausage ball onto the center of the plastic wrap, fold the plastic over sausage, and flatten into an 1/8-inch-thick oval. Pull the plastic back and place 1 egg onto the center of flattened sausage. Pick up plastic wrap, moisten fingertips, and press sausage around egg to cover completely, sealing well. Repeat with remaining sausage balls and eggs.
  • Place flour into a shallow bowl. Beat 3 eggs in a second shallow bowl. Pour bread crumbs into a third bowl.
  • Dredge sausage-wrapped eggs in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then press in bread crumbs to coat. Gently toss between your hands to remove excess bread crumbs, then place breaded eggs on a plate.
  • Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cook in batches in the preheated oil until golden, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer Scotch eggs to a wire rack to cool, about 5 minutes
  • I like to serve with several different mustards
