Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 F and place a rack in a shallow baking pan.

  2. Divide sausage into 6 equal portions and wrap each around a hard-cooked egg.

  3. Whisk an egg with mustard and water in a bowl.

  4. Roll each sausage-wrapped egg first in breadcrumbs, then dip in the whisked egg mixture, and finally roll in breadcrumbs again.

  5. Arrange the coated eggs on the baking pan and bake for about 35 minutes, or until browned, turning once during baking.

  6. For the creamy mustard sauce, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.

  7. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute until smooth and bubbling.

  8. Gradually add salt, pepper, and 1 cup of half-and-half, whisking until thickened and adding more as needed for desired consistency.

  9. Stir in mustard and parsley until combined.

  10. Cut the baked eggs in half lengthwise and serve hot with the prepared sauce.
