Instructions:
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread crumbs, cheddar cheese (grated), finely chopped leek, chopped walnuts, freshly chopped sage, lemon zest, and dry mustard powder. Stir well to incorporate all the ingredients evenly.
-
Gradually blend in the goat cheese into the mixture, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout.

Separate one egg, keeping the white aside, and add the yolk to the remaining egg. Beat the egg and yolk into the cheese mixture along with the milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
-
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into sausages, approximately 3 inches long. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Cover the sausages and refrigerate for about 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to firm up.
-
Spread the all-purpose flour on a plate. Brush each sausage with the reserved egg white, then roll them in the flour until lightly coated, shaking off any excess.
-
In a skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the sausages to the skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Once cooked, transfer the sausages to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off any excess oil.
-
Garnish with fresh sage leaves and serve the Sage and Cheese Sausages immediately, alongside your favorite sides or dipping sauces.
