- Mix ingredients for egg dredge in on dish.
- Mix ingredients for flour dredge in a separate dish.
- Pass each individual sage leaf through the egg mixture (coat well), then through the flour mixture until well coated. (Try to use only one hand and keep a paper towel handy as this can get a little messy!).

- After all leaves are coated, heat the oil and fry the leaves until a light golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels, lightly salt while warm. Best served at room temperature, but can certainly be served warm.
