How to make it
5 steps. Take it one step at a time.
Place 4 eggs in a pot of boiling water
Place 4 eggs in a pot of boiling water. Cook for 6 minutes for a soft yolk or 9 minutes for hard-boiled. Immediately transfer to an ice bath for 5 minutes, then carefully peel.
6 minMix the sausage meat
In a bowl, mix the sausage meat with thyme, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Divide the meat into 4 equal portions
Divide the meat into 4 equal portions. Flatten each portion into an oval patty. Place a peeled egg in the center and wrap the meat around it, ensuring no gaps are left.
Set up a breading station
Set up a breading station with three bowls: flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs. Roll each meat-wrapped egg in flour, dip in the egg wash, and finally coat thoroughly in breadcrumbs.
Heat oil to 350°F
Heat oil to 350°F (177°C) in a deep pan or fryer. Fry the eggs for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and the meat is cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

A little kitchen wisdom
For a perfect runny yolk, boil the eggs for exactly 6 minutes before shocking them in ice water. Use high-quality pork sausage meat for the best results.
