Glamorgan Sausages with Welsh Goats Cheese
Glamorgan sausages were traditionally the poor mans food of Wales but these little cheese sausages are really delicious. Traditionally the sausages are prepared with Caerphilly cheese but in this recipe I have included goats cheese which the Welsh are so good at making.

Glamorgan Sausages

Method
- Glamorgan Sausages:Place the breadcrumbs, cheeses, leek, parsley, 1 egg and egg yolk, mustard and seasoning, in a large bowl.

- Preheat oil in a frying pan over a high heat or heat oil in a deep fryer to 180°C. Coat the sausages in the egg white followed by the breadcrumbs, shaking off excess crumbs. Cook in pan or deep fryer until golden brown on all sides. Serve:
