Ingredients:

- Hard-boiled eggs
Instructions:
-
Boil the Eggs:
- Start by boiling as many eggs as you need, typically 4-6 for a small gathering. Place the eggs in a pot of water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and let the eggs cook for about 10-12 minutes. Once done, remove the eggs from the pot and let them cool completely.
-
Prepare the Sausage Balls:
- Once the hard-boiled eggs have cooled, carefully peel off the shells. Take a portion of Italian sausage meat and flatten it in your hand. Place a hard-boiled egg in the center and gently wrap the sausage meat around it, forming a ball. Ensure that the egg is completely covered with the sausage meat.
-
Fry the Sausage Balls:
- In a deep frying pan or pot, heat oil over medium heat. Carefully place the sausage balls into the hot oil and fry them for 5-9 minutes, or until the sausage meat is cooked through and golden brown. Make sure to turn the balls occasionally to ensure even cooking.
-
Slice and Serve:
- Once the sausage balls are cooked to perfection, remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Using a sharp knife, slice the sausage balls into half-inch thick slices. Arrange them on a serving platter and serve them hot.
