6 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and chilled
1 lb. sausage
2 tbsp. chopped parsley
Vegetable oil for frying
1/2 tsp. ground sage
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 c. plain flour
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 to 3/4 c. bread crumbs

Peel eggs and chill well. Combine sausage and spices in large bowl. Mix well. Divide into 6 portions. Press mixture around cold eggs with hands, keeping oval shape. Sprinkle eggs with flour, all over. Dip into beaten egg and roll into bread crumbs.

Heat oil in deep fryer or heavy saucepan to 350 degrees. Cook 1 egg at a time, 4-5 minutes or until well browned. Drain on paper towels, cool and enjoy on a picnic or brunch.
