Steps
1
In a small shallow dish, add the flour and 2 teaspoons of the Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub and stir to combine. Wet the eggs with water and roll in the seasoned flour to lightly coat.
Ingredients
1/2 Cup all-purpose flour
4 Teaspoon Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub, divided
4 Hard-boiled eggs, peeled
2
Wet your hands and divide the sausage into 4 equal-size balls. Flatten each ball into an oval. Cover each egg in sausage, smoothing the seams to encase the egg evenly. Rewet your hands as necessary.
Ingredients
1 Pound seasoned bulk sausage, such as Jimmy Dean, or Bob Evans

Dip each sausage-covered egg in the beaten egg, letting any excess drain off, and then dredge in the bread crumbs. Refrigerate the eggs, uncovered, for 1 to 2 hours.
