  5. Divide the slices of hard boiled eggs (1/4 or 1/6) and sausages/hotdogs. Place each slices at the center of each mixture. Hold the foil onto your hand and roll until the ends of the mixture covers the eggs and sausages.
  6. Finally roll the aluminum foil into a tightly packed log about 2in diameter sealing on both ends. Repeat with the remaining pork mixture.

The measurements are just guides as one can tweak it to his own liking. I would definitely add more cheese. We also tried adding chopped/"crushed" canned sausage to the mix to give it more flavour - it came out very tasty.
