6 hard-cooked eggs, well chilled
1 lb. sausage meat
2 tbsp. finely chopped parsley
1/2 tsp. ground sage
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 c. flour
2 eggs, beaten
1/2-3/4 c. pkg. bread crumbs
Vegetable oil for frying

Peel hard-cooked eggs. Combine sausage, parsley, sage and pepper into a large mixing bowl. Divide meat mixture into 6 equal portions. Press meat mixture around eggs with your hands, keeping the oval shape. Sprinkle eggs with flour, coating lightly on all sides. Dip into beaten egg and then roll in bread crumbs.

Heat vegetable oil in deep fryer or deep heavy saucepan to 350 degrees. Cook 1 egg at a time for about 4-5 minutes or until well browned. Drain on paper towel. Cool. Refrigerate.
