   4      lg            Eggs
                        Plain flour
   8      oz            Sausage meat
   1      sm            Egg -- beaten
   2                    Spring onions -- fine chopped
                        Bread crumbs -- toasted
   1     ts             Fresh thyme -- finely chopped
                        Salt
   3     ts             Fresh chives -- chopped
                        Black pepper -- freshly milled
   1     tb             Fresh parsley -- finely chopped
                        Oil -- for deep frying

  Hard-boil the eggs by covering them in cold water, bringing it to
  the boil, simmering gently for 9 minutes and cooling them under
  cold running water.

  Next mix the sausage meat with the spring onions and herbs and
  season well. Then shell the cooled eggs and coat each one with some
  of the seasoned flour.

  Divide the sausage meat into 4 portions and pat each piece out on a
  floured surface to a shape roughly 5x3". Now place an egg in the
  center of each piece and carefully gather up the sausage meat to
  cover the egg completely. Seal one by one, first in beaten egg and
  then throughly and evenly in the bread crumbs.

  Now heat 1-1/2" oil in a deep frying pan up to a temperature of 350
  to 375°F. Put the eggs into the oil and fry for 6 to 8 minutes,
  turning frequently until they have turned a nice brown colour.
  Drain on crumpled grease-proof paper. When they're absolutely cold,
  wrap in cling wrap and store.
