Scotch Eggs Recipe

Scotch eggs are a popular snack in the United Kingdom, consisting of a hard-boiled egg wrapped in sausage meat and fried until golden brown.

Ingredients

Time Needed

Instructions

Cover the eggs in a saucepan with water.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low heat for 5 minutes.
Remove the eggs from the water and place them under cold running water to cool.
Set aside the peel.
Divide the sausage into six equal portions and flatten each into a disc.
Place an egg in the center of each disc and completely wrap the sausage around the egg.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining two eggs.
In a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs.
Each sausage-wrapped egg should be rolled in seasoned flour, then dipped in beaten eggs, and finally coated in breadcrumbs.
In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the eggs in batches for about 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown.
Before serving, drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
