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
Directions
Step 1
Finely slice the leek, discarding the tough green parts, then rinse thoroughly to remove any grit.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Roll each sausage in the flour, then dip it into the beaten egg, and coat it in the breadcrumbs. Repeat for all sausages.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Serve hot with salad, a dollop of mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce.
