MUSTARD SAUCE FOR SCOTCH EGGS RECIPES

Steps:

• Toast fennel seeds on stove, keeping them moving constantly, until they turn a golden brown color, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool, then grind in spice grinder. Combine with salt, pepper, and parsley in small cup.
• If grinding your own pork, trim fat from pork and cut into 1" cubes.
• Combine the blend from Step 1 with the pork. If grinding your own pork, put in freezer for 1 hour before using in meat grinder. If not, then refrigerate until ready to use.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place 4 eggs in a pot of cold water that just covers the eggs. Heat until the water achieves a rolling boil. Remove pot from heat immediately, and allow to sit for 8 minutes. Remove eggs from hot water and immerse in ice water. NOTE: 8 minutes give the eggs a soft center. Allow to sit for 10 minutes to hard boil eggs.
• To peel egg shell, tap the bottom of one egg to crack it. Use a spoon to carefully peel the shell away from the egg while rotating the egg. Repeat for each egg. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• If grinding your own pork, remove pork from the freezer and grind.
• Divide the sausage into 4 equal portions and flatten into a disc shape. Place the eggs in the center of the discs and carefully wrap the sausage around them, ensuring that there are no openings.
• Place the breadcrumbs in a bowl. Whisk the remaining egg in another bowl. Roll each sausage wrapped egg in the egg wash to fully coat, then roll in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
• Place sausage wrapped eggs on an ungreased cookie sheet and cook for 30 minutes, until the outside turns golden brown.
• Combine mayonnaise, mustard, and lemon juice to create mustard sauce.

Steps:

• Hard boil 4 eggs. Then drop in an ice bath and chilll well then peel them. Proceed after eggs are quite cold. I usually do this step the day before.
• Divide the sausage in fourths. Using 2 pieces of plastic wrap lightly flour the sage and roll out thinly. Next roll each egg in flour and place each on a sausage patty.
• Now coverage roll sausage neatly around each egg and roll well, you want it firmly around egg, then roll this in the flour then the egg wash and next into bread crumbs. For extra crispy coating repeat this procedure. Then place in the fridge for 30 minutes. This is a good time to make mustard sauce.
• After 30 minutes, deep fry at 350 till golden brown. Cut in half and place on undressed salad or lettice leaf. Serve with mustard sauce or if from Texas, just throw some hot sauce on it.
• Note on eggs: I make my own bread crumbs and know they are extra fine but it is just as good and easy to use store bought crumbs.
• For the mustard sauce: Put olive oil in a little skillet and add in the shallot for about 5 minutes till tender. Stir in flour and keep stirring for a couple of minutes to cook the raw off the flour. Add in the wine and the water/stock. Whisk in the grainy mustard and cook till reduced by half. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar. Turn off heat and stir in the sour cream. If you like you can add a small touch of thyme into the shallots.
