Ingredients

  • 225g fresh breadcrumbs
  • 125g grated Traditional Welsh Caerphilly (PGI) cheese
  • 3 medium size free-range eggs
  • a little milk
  • salt and white pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dry mustard
  • 175g leek shredded and sautéed in a little butter for 2 minutes
  • 1 heaped tablespoon of fresh, chopped parsley
  • For the coating
  • 100g fresh breadcrumbs
  • 1 medium size free-range egg
  • 4 tablespoons milk
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Method

1.  Place the breadcrumbs, cheese, seasoning, mustard, leek and parsley into a mixing bowl and mix well.

2.  Beat together the eggs, and add to the ingredients. Mix the ingredients to form a firm dough. If needed, add a little milk to loosen the mixture. Divide the dough into 16 and form each portion into a sausage shape.

3.  Coating the sausages is optional, however this does give a wonderful crispy texture to the sausages. Beat the egg and add the milk. Place the breadcrumbs on a plate and season lightly. Take each sausage and roll it in the egg mixture, drain a little, then roll in the breadcrumbs. Repeat until all the sausages are coated, chill for an hour.

4.  Heat a heavy base frying pan, add a little oil, add the sausages a few at a time and cook over a medium-low heat until golden all over. The sausages should fry gently, if the heat is too high they will brown too quickly and not be cooked through.
