Ingredients for Scottish Egg

Method

Directions for Preparing Scottish Egg

1

Boil the Eggs

In a pot of boiling water, gently add the eggs and boil for 6-7 minutes for soft-boiled or 9-10 minutes for hard-boiled eggs. Once done, transfer them to an ice bath to cool.

2

Prepare the Sausage Mixture

In a bowl, mix the sausage meat with salt and black pepper until well combined.

3

Wrap the Eggs

Peel the cooled eggs and flatten a portion of the sausage mixture in your hand. Place the egg in the center and wrap the sausage around it, ensuring it is completely covered. Repeat with the remaining eggs.

4

Coat the Eggs

Dredge each wrapped egg in flour, then dip in beaten egg (if desired), and roll in breadcrumbs until fully coated.

5

Fry the Eggs

In a deep pan, heat vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F). Fry the eggs in batches until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

6

Serve

Serve warm with mustard on the side, if desired.
