Eggs-In-Sausage
Eggs-In-Sausage features hard-boiled eggs wrapped in seasoned sausage patties, coated in flour, and fried until golden—crispy, savory, and perfect for a hearty snack or meal.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Make the sausage into equal-sized patties.
- Wrap each hard-boiled, peeled egg completely with a sausage patty.
- Roll each sausage-wrapped egg in flour to coat evenly.
- Fry the coated eggs on all sides until browned all over.
Tips & Substitutions
To achieve a perfectly crispy coating, ensure the sausage is well-seasoned and chilled before wrapping the eggs. If you prefer a lighter option, consider using turkey sausage instead of pork. For extra flavor, add spices like paprika or garlic powder to the flour. You can also experiment with different types of sausage to complement the dish, similar to flavors found in Lamb Romanoff.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delicious eggs-in-sausage with a side of tangy dipping sauce, like mustard or a spicy aioli, for added flavor. They make a great appetizer or a hearty breakfast option. Pair with a fresh salad for a balanced meal, or consider serving alongside Buffet Meatballs for a delightful gathering.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the eggs in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, you can warm them in a skillet over low heat, turning occasionally to avoid burning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use raw eggs instead of hard-boiled eggs?
Using raw eggs is not recommended for this recipe, as the cooking process may not ensure they are fully cooked through. Hard-boiled eggs provide a stable and safe filling that pairs perfectly with the sausage. If you're looking for an alternative, you might try making a frittata with sausage and eggs.
What type of sausage is best for this recipe?
The best sausage for this recipe is one that is well-seasoned and has a good fat content, such as breakfast sausage or Italian sausage. Ground turkey or chicken sausage can be used for a lighter option, while spicy sausage will add an extra kick. Feel free to experiment with different flavors to find your favorite.
Can I bake these instead of frying?
Yes, you can bake the sausage-wrapped eggs for a healthier option. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the wrapped eggs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the sausage is cooked through and golden brown. This method reduces oil usage and still results in a delicious dish.
