Hello Dennis,

Beer Mustard is often served with these. See the second recipe below. The other two recipes have their own mustard sauce recipes.

Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 eggs, beaten lightly

Mix sausage with parsley, sage and thyme. Shape into 8 flat patties and 
wrap around eggs, covering egg completely. Dredge in flour which has been 
mixed with salt and pepper. Then roll in egg and cover with crumbs. 
Heat fat or oil to 375 degrees and fry eggs for about 5 minutes, until 
sausage is cooked and eggs nicely browned. Serve hot or cold on two slices 
of bread with Mustard Mayonnaise Sauce. Yield:  4 servings.

Mustard Mayonnaise Sauce:

Scotch Eggs with Sausage

1 pound bulk pork sausage
6 peeled, hard-cooked eggs
1 cup fine dry bread crumbs, purchased or homemade, plain or seasoned
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon prepared mustard

Mustard sauce:
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon chopped parsley
1 to 1 1/4 cups half-and-half
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

On a sheet of waxed paper, divide sausage into six equal portions; wrap one 
portion around each egg. Roll each wrapped egg in bread crumbs. Beat egg with 
mustard and water; dip sausage-wrapped eggs in beaten egg mixture. Roll in 
bread crumbs again; place on a rack in a shallow baking dish. Bake at 400 
degrees for about 35 minutes or until browned, turning once during baking. 
Cut into halves lengthwise; serve with mustard, ketchup, grated cheddar cheese
or other condiments.
To make mustard sauce, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. 
Whisk in flour; cook for about 1 minute, whisking constantly, until smooth 
and bubbling. Add seasonings, then add 1 cup of half-and-half a little at a 
time. Continue whisking until thickened; add more half-and-half until desired
 consistency is reached. Whisk in mustard; serve over Scotch eggs, vegetables 
 or fried fish.

Pagachi

Subject: Pagachi Recipe from my Grandmother

I have searched many years for my Grandmother's Slovak Pagachi recipe.  My
Grandmother came from Czechoslovakia and was an excellent cook.  My Aunt
recently passed away, and today I found the recipe among her favorite
recipes.   I am happy to share this recipe with your readers as it is made
differently than the other recipes that you have posted.

Pagachi (Grandma’s recipe for Slovak Pizza)

1 pkg dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup oleo
1 cup warm milk
2-3 eggs
1/2 cup water
1-1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp sugar
7 cups flour (more or less)

Soften yeast in 1/2 cup warm water.  Add oleo to 1 cup milk and heat together
over low heat.  Beat eggs slightly and mix with the milk.  Add 1/2 cup water,
sugar, and salt.  Add to yeast mixture.  Add 3 cups of flour mix and let
rise for about 40 minutes.  Add rest of flour and mix well again.  Knead and
add flour until no longer sticky.  Let rise again and punch down several
times.  Take out on floured board.  Divide into 4 parts.  Roll each part out
in circle and put cabbage or potato filling, spreading to the edge.  Pick up
edges and towards center, sealing so no filling escapes or shows.  Set aside
to rise for 30 minutes.  Turn over on board and press down either with
rolling pin or heel of hand working from center toward edge to make a circle
of 12 inches in diameter.  The thinner the dough, the more delicious when
baked.  Bake on greased pan or cookie sheet for 20 minutes at 375 degrees.

Cabbage Filling:

Chop cabbage fine, add salt and let stand 30 minutes.  Squeeze all juice
out.  In frying pan, put in the oil or oleo, heat, and then add cabbage and
fry for about 35 minutes stirring constantly until lightly browned.  Cool
before using.

Potato Filling:

Mash 4 medium size potatoes, season with salt and pepper and grate into
mixture 2 oz sharp cheese.

Note: When ready to serve Pagachi, brush with melted butter.
