Scotch Eggs.......every Easter morning.

A few years ago I was researching heritage recipies for one of the kids school projects.  We discovered Scotch Eggs....  a great way to use up those hard boiled eggs from Easter.  It's become a family tradition to make them every Easter morning for breakfast.  They are a bit labor intensive to make but I only make them once a year.   A breaded sausage encrusted hard boiled egg that's been deep fried.


                                                                              
                                                  
Peel 8 hard boiled eggs
We use 1 lb of  bulk sausage. (Jimmy Dean is our favorite)
Divide sausage into 8 equal portions
Flatten each portion and encase your egg.  It's a little tricky but a dry egg and slightly wet hands work well.  Try to even out the sausage so you don't have thick spots.  Roll the sausage covered egg in bread crumbs.
Once they are all done heat up your oil for deep frying.  Fry them  untill deep brown.
 Serve with Maple Syrup.
