Preparation

Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Hard-boil 6 eggs. Cool, then peel.

Saute onion, spring onion and garlic until onion is almost translucent. Add parsley, thyme and chives until wilted.

Beat 1 of the remaining eggs and mix with the mince. Add ingredients from pan to the mince mix, along with mustard, salt and pepper.

Place flour in a shallow pan or bowl. Beat remaining egg and place in a separate shallow pan or bowl. Finally, place breadcrumbs, mixed herbs, and salt and pepper in a third pan or bowl.

Roll peeled eggs in the flour. Wrap in the mince mix, coat in egg, then roll in the breadcrumb mixture.

Deep fry for about 1 minute in vegetable oil until golden brown. Bake for about 20–30 minutes until mince is cooked through.
