These soft boiled eggs wrapped in spicy sausage and drizzled with a creamy mustard sauce are a twist on Scotch eggs. Use your favorite seasoned sausage or combine them like I did! This recipe has incredible flavors and textures that make for a mouth-watering breakfast everyone will LOVE and devour!
Start by boiling your eggs for 6 minutes and then immediately placing them in an ice water bath. (this will prevent the eggs from continuing to cook and ensure a soft boiled egg)
Combine 1/2 lb Italian OR sage sausage with 1/2 lb spicy sausage. Add minced garlic, mustard, chives salt and pepper. Mix well.
Carefully remove shell from cooled eggs and wrap in sausage mixture. Be sure your sausage patties are not too thick as they will not cook all the way through.
Be sure entire egg is covered.
Roll sausage-wrapped egg in flour, then dip in egg wash and finish with Italian breadcrumbs. Place egg in saute pan with hot oil and cook on all sides until golden brown (about 3 minutes). Transfer fried eggs to baking dish and finish cooking in preheated oven for 5 minutes at 400 degrees.
Slice egg in half and serve with creamy mustard sauce. Enjoy!
**Side Note** The bowl of sauce you see in the picture was so I could DUNK each bite into it. It’s that good! I really wanted to drink it, but I held back. Maybe. My point is… don’t leave it out! It’s dreamy.
These babies will make anyone’s morning happier. It’s the truth.
