- 4 whole soft-boiled eggs

Bread flour, then beaten egg, then plain breadcrumbs, shaking off excess, and deep fry at 375F, stirring occasionally.
- 1 lb coarsely ground pork
- 1 tsp freshly chopped thyme
- 1 tbsp fresh sage
- 1 tbsp chives
- kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- allspice
- mace
- ginger powder
- garlic powder
- freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 tsp hot, dry mustard
Second attempt: mix coarsely ground pork with thyme, sage, chives, salt, pepper, a pinch each of allspice, mace, ginger powder, garlic powder and nutmeg, and a teaspoon of dry mustard.
Herbed sausage from scratch
Mix enough to build a protein network but not so much that the sausage shrinks; fry a test patty to check seasoning.
Coat three eggs with the pound of meat, smearing over any potential cracks, and rest in the fridge 30 minutes before breading.
Double bread: flour, egg, breadcrumbs, back to egg, then breadcrumbs again; use enough oil to cover the egg completely.
- homemade mayo
- grain mustard
Serve with a 50-50 mix of homemade mayo and grain mustard.
