From Hairy Bikers – Chicken & Egg

Ingredients

  • 6 pickled eggs
  • 2 tbsp celery salt
  • 60g/2oz plain flour, seasoned with salt and pepper
  • 600g/1lb 5oz Cumberland sausages, sausagemeat removed from the skins
  • 100g/3½oz Japanese panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 x 30g packet cheese and onion crisps, crushed
  • 2 free-range eggs, beaten
  • vegetable oil, for deep-frying

Method

  1. Take a pickled egg and roll it in celery salt, then seasoned flour.

  2. Divide the sausagemeat into six portions. Roll each portion into a patty big enough to wrap around an egg. Wrap the sausagemeat around the eggs and roll into a ball shape.

  3. Mix the breadcrumbs with the crisps. Dust the sausage-coated egg in flour, dip in beaten egg and then roll in the breadcrumb mixture.

  4. Heat the oil in a deep-fat fryer or a deep-sided, heavy-bottomed pan to 160C, or until a breadcrumb sizzles and turns golden-brown when dropped into it. (CAUTION: hot oil can be dangerous. Do not over-fill the pan or leave unattended).

  5. Fry the eggs for about 8-10 minutes until golden-brown. Alternatively, shallow fry, turning occasionally, until cooked through.
