Directions

Steam the eggs in a steam basket for no more than 6 minutes, maybe even 5.
Plunge the eggs into an ice bath to stop cooking.
Cool the eggs completely, then crack them all over and put them back in water to ease peeling.
Peel the eggs under running water and refrigerate.
Make herb loaded ground pork with finely minced sage, thyme, and rosemary, plus salt and pepper.
Shape a quarter of the sausage mixture into a large patty, place a peeled egg in the center, and cover with sausage.
Coat the sausage-covered eggs in flour, beaten eggs, then panko bread crumbs.
Fry in oil heated to 375°F for 7-10 minutes until the sausage layer is cooked, keeping the yolk soft.
Let the Scotch eggs drip dry, then build a grain mustard aioli from mayonnaise and grain mustard.
Serve the Scotch eggs with aioli, crack open to reveal the soft yolk.
