Boil four eggs in boiling water for 6 minutes 30 seconds.
Transfer the eggs to ice water for 8 minutes, then peel.
Knead the sausage meat with mustard powder, parsley, black pepper, and salt.
Divide the sausage meat into four portions and coat each egg in an even layer.
Coat the wrapped eggs in flour, the remaining beaten egg, and breadcrumbs.
Chill the coated eggs for 30 minutes so the crust does not split in the oil.
Heat the oil to 165°C and fry the eggs for 6 minutes, until golden.
💡 Tip: Chilling the coated eggs before frying keeps the meat layer from opening in the oil.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm or at room temperature with mustard, and add piccalilli and green salad if desired.
