Bring a pot of water to boil. Carefully add 6 large eggs and boil for 6 minutes for soft yolks or 8 minutes for firmer yolks. Immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for 5 minutes, then carefully peel the shells.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork sausage, garlic powder, smoked paprika, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the spices are evenly distributed.
Prepare a breading station by placing the flour in one shallow dish, beating the 2 eggs in another, and placing the panko breadcrumbs in a third dish.
Divide the sausage mixture into 6 equal portions. Flatten one portion into a thin patty on a piece of plastic wrap. Place one peeled egg in the center and gently mold the sausage around the egg, ensuring it is fully encased. Repeat for the remaining eggs.
Roll each sausage-covered egg in the flour, ensuring an even coating. Dip it into the beaten egg mixture, then roll it in the panko breadcrumbs until fully coated. Repeat with all the eggs.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep saucepan or fryer to 175°C (350°F). Carefully lower the Scotch eggs into the oil and fry in batches for 6-7 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the Scotch eggs with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Let the Scotch eggs rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Slice in half for presentation, and serve with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
