Scottish Sausage Packets with Boiled Eggs

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix together the sausage, chives and parsley until well combined.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and mustard.
3. Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl.
4. Place the flour in another shallow bowl.
5. Roll one of the eggs in the flour. Wet hands and take 1/3 cup of the meat mixture and press around a boiled egg to completely cover.
6. Brush the meat with the mustard mixture and then dredge in the breadcrumbs. Continue with the rest of the boiled eggs.
7. Fill a large saucepan with 1-1/2 of vegetable oil and heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 325 degrees. Add the sausage and egg and fry for 7 minutes.
8. Remove and place on paper towels to drain. Transfer to a serving plate and serve immediately.
