1
Prepare the Eggs
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then turn off the heat and cover the pan. Let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes. Then, transfer them to an ice bath to cool. Once cooled, peel the eggs.
2
Prepare the Sausage
In a bowl, mix the sausage meat with salt and pepper. Divide the sausage mixture into 4 equal portions.
3
Wrap the Eggs
Flatten each portion of sausage meat and wrap it around a hard-boiled egg, ensuring it is completely covered. Repeat for all eggs.
4
Coat the Eggs
Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with the beaten egg, and one with breadcrumbs. Dredge each sausage-wrapped egg in flour, dip in the egg wash, and then coat in breadcrumbs.
5
Fry the Scotch Eggs
In a deep pan or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F). Fry the coated eggs in batches for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6
Serve
Slice the Scotch eggs in half and serve warm with hot mustard on the side.
