3.Once you have peeled your eggs, roll them first in the flour, coating them all over, then into the beaten egg mixture and then finely coat in the Parmesan breadcrumbs.
4.When ready to serve, fry the eggs until they are very golden, drain on kitchen paper, cut a little off the base of each so they stand upright and place on plates, using a spoon pull a blob of red pepper essence or tomato sauce to decorate and enjoy.
