Boil eggs for 6 minutes until hard-boiled; cool in ice water.

Peel the eggs gently and set aside.

Prepare a pound of breakfast sausage; note that it often comes in 12-ounce packages.

Grind 4 strips of bacon and mix with 1 cup of pork panko for coating.

Dredge eggs in a mixture of 3 egg whites and a bit of heavy whipping cream.

Wrap sausage around each egg, ensuring it's completely covered, using parchment paper to help shape.

Set the wrapped eggs aside after coating them in sausage.

Prepare hollandaise sauce by adding 3 egg yolks and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to a bowl.

Whisk the egg yolks and lemon juice together, then gradually add melted butter while whisking until thickened.

Season hollandaise with a dash of paprika, salt, and pepper to taste; serve over Scotch eggs.
