Ingredients

  • 6 eggs soft boiled and peeled
  • 3 cups ground chorizo sausage or other ground pork mixed with spices
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 cup grape seed or vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Roll the eggs in flour.
  • Lay 1/2 cup of sausage on a cutting board and flatten it so that it is 1/2-inch thick. Encase an egg in it. Repeat this with the remaining eggs and sausage.
  • Shape the meat around the egg with your hands to make sure it is well sealed, then roll it in bread crumbs.
  • Heat the grape seed oil and drop the eggs in. Cook for 10-15 minutes, until dark brown and crispy on the outside.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Slice the eggs in half and serve.
