Ingredients

Serves: 4

• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme

• 4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
• Flour
• 1 egg, beaten

1. In a bowl, combine sausage with parsley, sage, and thyme. Form into four (4-inch) circles.
2. Sprinkle the hard-boiled eggs with flour, then press each into a sausage circle, sealing the eggs inside the meat. Sprinkle again with flour, then brush with egg and coat with breadcrumbs.
