According to Google Maps, you could be here in five hours. No promises there will be any left by then!

Ingredients:
4 boiled, cooled and shelled eggs
1 beaten egg
1 pound bulk sausage (I use breakfast sausage)
1 cup of breadcrumbs, seasoned to your own taste

Method:
Divide the sausage into four equal balls. Form a hollow in each ball with your thumb and stretch the sausage ball, thinning the walls to about 1/4 inch and making a "sack" large enough to envelop the egg. (Hint: Wet your hands so they won't stick to the sausage.)

Place an egg into the hollow or each sausage "sack" and pinch the open end closed. Bathe the sausage-covered egg in the beaten egg, then roll in breadcrumbs until well coated. Place the coated eggs on a cool plate and let them sit about 30 minutes to let the coating set.

Preheat a deep fryer to 375 degrees F. To avoid crowding the fryer, I do two eggs at a time. Fry for 5-6 minutes, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

You can eat them hot or cold. I like them with mild mustard.

A friend used to make these at reenactments over the open fire. They were inhaled in mere minutes...!

Vaporizes in under two minutes.

For a low fat version, you can use turkey sausage (not ground turkey) and bake them at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes. They make a great appetizer if you cut them into quarters.
