Ingredients: 

Serves 1

• 150gm venison sausage 
• Free range hen egg 
• Egg wash  
• Fresh breadcrumb 

Method: 

• The difficult task is the egg. It has to be soft boiled for 6 minutes, then cool down in icy water, remove shell carefully without damaging the egg (Top Tip: prep a few extra eggs) 
• Open 150gm of venison sausage (other types of sausage will do, but make sure a minimum of 85% meat) 
• Spread the sausage meat about 1cm thick in between 2 pieces of cling film.  
• Place your egg in the middle, fold the sausage meat around, leaving no gaps 
• Place in the fridge for few hours to get firm. Then you just need to bread it twice to avoid any ”surprises”.  
• Fry to order at 145C for about 4 mins. Suggest serving with a remoulade, the French version of the coleslaw, made with grated celeriac
