Carefully put the 6 whole eggs in a pan with enough cold water to just cover them. Bring to a simmer and cook gently for 8 minutes. Drain and cool quickly by running under cold tap water until cool enough to handle. Peel off the shells and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 190ºC, fan 170ºC, gas mark 5. Put the sausagemeat and parsley in a bowl and mix well. Using wet hands, divide into 6 portions, then shape each one into flat patties.
Put a cooked egg in the centre of each patty and carefully use your hands to wrap the sausagemeat around the eggs, making sure they are completely covered and smooth.
Put the beaten egg in a bowl and the breadcrumbs on a plate. Dip the sausage-coated eggs first into the beaten egg, then roll in the breadcrumbs to coat completely.
Place on a baking tray and bake for 25 minutes until golden.
