Scotch Egg

Indulge in the hearty delight of Scotch Eggs, where savory pork sausage envelops perfectly boiled eggs, all wrapped in a crispy breadcrumb coating. Ideal for a cozy brunch or a fun picnic treat!

• 4 large eggs
• 300 g pork sausage meat
• 75 g bread crumbs
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 2 cups vegetable oil

Method

1. 1

   Boil the eggs in water for about 6-7 minutes until soft-boiled. Remove them, cool under cold water, and carefully peel.

2. 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine the sausage meat, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix until well combined.

3. 3

   Divide the sausage mixture into four equal portions. Flatten each portion into a disk large enough to encase a boiled egg.

4. 4

   Wrap each egg with the sausage mixture, ensuring they are fully covered, and form them into smooth balls.

5. 5

   Coat each Scotch egg in breadcrumbs by rolling them in the crumbs until fully covered.

6. 6

   Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully fry the Scotch eggs until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.

7. 7

   Remove the Scotch eggs from the oil and drain on paper towels. Let cool slightly before serving.

8. 8

   Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with mustard or your favorite dipping sauce.
