Scotch Eggs

 10 hard-boiled eggs, peeled, washed and dried

1 lb Jimmy Dean ground, raw sausage 1 raw egg

1+ cup Breadcrumbs (regular, whole-wheat, or Panko all ok) vegetable oil for frying (enough to fill fryer)

½+ cup flour

Heat oil to 350 in fryer. Place flour and breadcrumbs each in their own flat bowls or pie pans. Whip raw egg and 2 Tbsp water in a third bowl. Flatten raw sausage into 10 circles and wrap one around each egg. Stretch and pat until egg fully covered evenly. Roll in flour, then in egg wash, then in breadcrumbs. Place in frying basket and repeat with all boiled eggs. Fry all eggs for 7 minutes (if using pan on stove it’s 7 minutes per side). Preheat oven to 350. Place fried eggs on a baking sheet that has a rack on top of it and put in oven for 15 minutes.  This dries out the oil and crisps up the outside. Meanwhile, mix honey mustard dipping sauce and adjust ingredients to taste. Test first egg by cutting and checking for brown sausage everywhere. If still pink, cook longer. When the eggs are done, cut in half long-wise and serve with honey mustard sauce.

Extra tip: you can coat each boiled egg with flour before you cover in sausage so the sausage sticks better.
