Ingredients
-
10 large eggs, divided
-
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
-
1½ cups panko bread crumbs
-
1 pound bulk breakfast sausage
-
¼ cup thinly sliced green onions
-
¾ cup all-purpose flour
-
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly brush with vegetable oil.
-
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently add 6 eggs and cook for 7 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath, peel, and set aside.
-
In a bowl, mix sausage and green onions until evenly combined.
-
Divide sausage into 6 equal portions. Flatten each portion and wrap around one hard-boiled egg, sealing completely.
-
Set up a breading station with flour, remaining eggs beaten with mustard, and panko breadcrumbs.
-
Roll each sausage-wrapped egg in flour, then egg mixture, then panko, pressing gently to adhere.
-
Place on prepared baking sheet and lightly brush tops with oil.
-
Bake for 28–30 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
-
For softer centers, reduce boiling time to 6 minutes.
-
Chill wrapped eggs for 10 minutes before breading to help them hold their shape.
-
Serve with spicy mustard or aioli for dipping.
