- 1 lb ground sausage
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder

- 1 egg, beaten
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare the Sausage Mixture – In a bowl, mix ground sausage with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Wrap the Eggs – Flatten a portion of sausage and wrap it evenly around each boiled egg.
- Coat the Eggs – Dip each sausage-wrapped egg into the beaten egg, then roll in breadcrumbs to coat.
- Air Fry – Lightly spray with cooking spray and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway for even crispiness.
- Serve & Enjoy – Let them cool slightly before serving warm with fresh herbs or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.
- Want a runny yolk? Boil the eggs for 6 minutes before peeling.
- Swap pork sausage for chicken or turkey sausage for a lighter version.
- Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be reheated in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes.
