Ingredients
  

For the Eggs
  • 6 pieces Eggs Use 1 for egg wash
For the Sausage Layer
  • 1 pound Sausage Meat Can use garlic sausage or breakfast sausage
For the Crunchy Coating
  • 1 cup Panko Bread Crumbs Regular breadcrumbs can be used, but will miss extra crunch

  • 1/4 cup Dijon Mustard Grainy mustard can also be used

Equipment

  • medium pot
  • Baking sheet

Method
 

Step‑By‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium pot, bring water to a boil and carefully lower in the eggs, boiling them for 4-5 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath immediately after boiling.
  3. Gently peel the eggs under running water and chill them in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
  4. Divide the sausage meat into 6 equal portions and flatten them to create disks around the boiled eggs.
  5. Dredge each sausage-wrapped egg in whisked egg, letting excess drip off, then coat thoroughly with Panko breadcrumbs.
  6. Arrange the coated eggs on the baking sheet and bake for 10-14 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  7. Whisk together Dijon mustard and heavy cream in a small bowl while eggs are baking.
  8. Once baked, let the eggs cool for a moment and serve them warm with the dipping sauce.
