Scotch Egg Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Eggs

   In a pot, bring water to a boil. Gently add the eggs and boil for 6-7 minutes for soft-boiled. Remove the eggs and place them in ice water to cool. Once cooled, peel the eggs.

2. 2

   Prepare the Sausage Mixture

   In a bowl, combine the sausage meat, salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using). Mix well until combined.

3. 3

   Wrap the Eggs

   Divide the sausage mixture into 4 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a disc and wrap it around the peeled soft-boiled egg, ensuring the egg is completely covered.

4. 4

   Prepare for Frying

   Set up a breading station with one bowl of flour, one bowl of beaten eggs (from 2 additional eggs), and one bowl of breadcrumbs.

5. 5

   Bread the Scotch Eggs

   Roll each sausage-wrapped egg in the flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs. Ensure they are well-coated.

6. 6

   Fry the Eggs

   In a deep pan, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the Scotch eggs and fry until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

7. 7

   Serve

   Cut the Scotch eggs in half and serve warm. Enjoy!
