We've added extra protein to our giant sausage roll in the form of jammy boiled eggs, which provide a pleasant surprise when you cut into the middle of it!
Use any flavoured sausage meat you fancy. For example, chorizo sausages would work well here, as well as apple sausages. You could even use vegetarian sausages to make it meat-free.
We've used puff pastry in the recipe below, but you could use shortcrust instead if you fancied.

Ingredients
5
medium eggs
800g
sausages or herby sausagemeat
75g
fresh white breadcrumbs
320g
sheet ready-rolled puff pastry
4Tbsp.
piccalilli, plus extra to serve
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan) mark 6. Bring a pan of water to boil, add 4 eggs and boil for 5min. Drain and run under cold water. Peel (yolks will still be soft); set aside.
Step 2
Squeeze sausage meat out of skins; discard skins. Mix meat with breadcrumbs.
Step 3
Roll out pastry so it measures about 32 x 38cm. Spread piccalilli lengthways down the middle of the pastry, in a strip about 6.5cm, leaving a rough 5cm border at ends. Lay half of the sausage meat in a strip on top of the piccalilli. Press four indentations into meat, evenly spaced, and lay on boiled eggs. Use remaining sausage meat to cover eggs, and shape into a sausage to encase them.
Step 4
Lightly beat remaining egg and use to brush pastry edges. Lift short ends of pastry on to filling, then fold in pastry sides to cover, sealing. Transfer to a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Brush with egg and score pastry a few times. Cook for 45min until golden. Allow to cool before serving.
