Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Leeks
- 25 grams Butter
- 150 grams Caerphilly cheese (or Cheddar as a substitute)
- 150 grams Fresh white breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 50 grams Plain flour
- 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
Finely slice the leek, discarding the tough green parts, then rinse thoroughly to remove any grit.
In a frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the leek until softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
Grate the Caerphilly cheese (or Cheddar) into a large mixing bowl. Add 100 grams of the breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, Dijon mustard, one beaten egg, the cooked leek, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a sausage shape with your hands. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm up.
Set up a breading station with the plain flour on a plate, the second beaten egg in a shallow bowl, and the remaining breadcrumbs on another plate.
Roll each sausage in the flour, then dip it into the beaten egg, and coat it in the breadcrumbs. Repeat for all sausages.
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the sausages in batches for about 8-10 minutes, turning frequently, until golden brown and crisp on all sides.
Serve hot with salad, a dollop of mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce.
