Scotch Eggs Recipe
A Scotch eggs recipe made from hard boiled eggs with sausage wrapped around the egg and then deep fried.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 6 eggs hard cooked
- 1 pound bulk ground sausage
- 2 Tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 eggs beaten
- 3/4 cup breadcrumbs
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Make sure that the eggs are chilled and very cold, as the sausage will wrap around them a lot easier.
- Peel the hard boiled eggs.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sausage and all spices and mix well.
- Divide the meat mixture into 6 equal portions.
- Press the meat mixture around the eggs with your hands, keeping the egg shape as much as possible.
- Lightly sprinkle each egg with flour, dusting evenly on all sides.
- Dip each into a bowl with the slightly beaten egg and roll them in the breadcrumbs.
- Deep fry each egg, one at a time in 350 degree vegetable oil, for about 4 minutes, or until lightly browned.
- Drain the sausage eggs on paper toweling. Cool and refrigerate.
Notes
Tips for Making Scotch Eggs:
If you are having trouble with the meat covering cracking, try keeping the thickness between 1/4" and 1/2" and as uniform as possible.
Using small or medium eggs will result in fewer problems with blow outs and cracking than using large eggs.
Deep-frying the scotch eggs is recommended so there is plenty of oil surrounding the egg when it cooks. If you fry the scotch eggs in a skillet, you will need to turn the eggs frequently so the sausage coating cooks evenly.
