125 g (4 oz.) English Cheddar cheese
450 g (1 lb.) sausage meat
15 ml (1 tbsp.) French mustard
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Flour
1 egg, beaten
25 g (1 oz.) dry bread crumbs

Divide the cheese into 12 even-sized pieces. Pound the sausage meat with the mustard and seasoning until well blended. Roll each piece of cheese in sausage meat, making sure cheese is completely encased. Coat the balls lightly in flour, beaten egg and bread crumbs in that order, pressing the crumbs on well.

Chill for 30 minutes to set the crumbs, then deep fry at 190 degrees C (375 degrees F) until golden brown. Drain well on kitchen paper. Leave until cold. Makes 12.
