Ingredients
- 8 eggs, plus one for beating
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 500g turkey breast mince
- 1 bunch(es) mixed herbs, finely chopped
- 4 tbsp flour (plain), plus extra for dusting
- 50g wholemeal breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
Directions
1
Put 8 of the eggs in a large pan of cold water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 6 minutes, then drain and cool under cold running water. Peel and pat dry with kitchen paper.
2
Meanwhile, mix together the onion, garlic, turkey mince and herbs.
3
Divide the meat mixture into 8. dust a work surface with flour, roll each portion of mince into a ball, then flatten into a circle large enough to encase an egg. Put an egg in the centre and use your hands to mould the mince around it, so its completely covered. Roll each encased egg to smooth out the shape.
4
Beat the remaining egg and pour onto a plate. Put the flour on another plate and the breadcrumbs on a third. Roll each egg first in the flour, then the beaten egg and lastly the breadcrumbs. Put on a baking tray and chill for 30 minutes.
5
Preheat the oven to 200°C / 180°C (fan oven) / 395°F / Gas Mark 6. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the eggs, in batches, for 1-2 minutes, until starting to turn golden. Transfer to a baking tray and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden.
