Scotch Eggs originated in England, and are usually made by wrapping a hard-boiled egg in sausage meat, before deep-frying it until crispy. This baked version of Scotch Eggs uses leaner sausage mixed with herbs and spices that give it a bold flavor and an elegant twist. Made with simple ingredients, this recipe is low fuss and easy to make. It is an ideal snack to serve your guests when entertaining. You can also make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve - it's a perfect addition to your meal prep routine. The crispy sausage coating and the moist egg on the inside make it a flavorful and protein-packed snack.

Instructions

1.	Preheat your oven to 350°F / 180°C.
2.	In a large bowl, combine the bulk sausage, dried rosemary, Dijon mustard, and 1/4 cup fresh breadcrumbs. Mix well.
3.	Roll each hard-boiled egg in the sausage mixture until it is completely covered.
4.	In a shallow dish, combine the dry breadcrumbs and sherry wine. Mix well.
5.	Roll each covered egg in the breadcrumb mixture until it is completely coated.
6.	Place the eggs on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the sausage is fully cooked and crispy.
