Preparation Process
- Cook four eggs by placing them in a pan with cold water.
ADVERTISEMENT Then, bring it to boil and remove from heat once it visibly reaches a rolling boil.
Let the water cool down then peel the four eggs and set aside. - Mix the sausage meat with ham, black pepper, stuffing mix, and herbs in a regular bowl.

After that, divide the mixture into 4 equally-sized balls.
- Dust your counter or another working area with flour and proceed to squash the balls one by one until they are as flat as possible. If the meat starts falling apart, make it thicker.
- Coat the 4 peeled eggs with flour, then use the cling film to roll the flattened sausage meat around the eggs, one piece per one egg.
ADVERTISEMENT The sausage meat should entirely surround the egg.
- Beat the remaining (5th) egg in a small bowl. Prepare two more plates and put breadcrumbs on one, and flour on the other.
- First, coat the wrapped eggs with flour.
ADVERTISEMENT You can repeat this process twice if you want a thicker coating.
In that case, however, you will likely need another egg and some extra flour and breadcrumbs.
Then, roll them in the beaten egg and lastly in the breadcrumbs.
- Once the eggs are coated, they can be saved in a fridge up to one day.
ADVERTISEMENT Then, lower the eggs in oil and cook them for up to 10 minutes or until they become crispy and golden.
When you’re ready to cook them, heat some cooking oil (5 cm in height) in a frying pan and wait for it to reach 160°C (320°F).
- Drain the excess oil on kitchen paper and wait for a few minutes.
