1 lb. bulk pork sausage
6 hard cooked eggs, shelled and patted dry
1 lg. egg, beaten
2/3 c. fine dry bread crumbs
Vegetable oil for frying
Prepared mustard, if desired

Divide sausage into 6 even portions; wrap 1 portion of the sausage around each hard - cooked egg to encase completely. Dip each into beaten egg, then roll in bread crumbs to coat completely. Heat 2 inches oil in large sauce pan to 350 degrees. Fry 3 eggs at a time, turning occasionally until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove eggs with slotted spoon; drain on paper towel. Place eggs in shallow baking pan. Bake in preheated 400 degree oven until sausage is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve hot or room temperature with mustard. Serves 6.
