1
Boil the Eggs
Place the eggs in a pot of cold water, bring to a boil, and cook for 6-7 minutes for soft-boiled or 9-10 minutes for hard-boiled. Once done, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool, then peel them.
2
Prepare the Sausage Mixture
In a bowl, combine the ground sausage meat with salt and black pepper. Mix well until the seasoning is evenly distributed.
3
Wrap the Eggs
Divide the sausage mixture into 6 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a patty, then wrap it around each peeled egg, ensuring it is fully covered.
4
Coat the Eggs
Roll each wrapped egg in flour, dip in beaten egg (if desired), and then coat with breadcrumbs.
5
Fry the Scotch Eggs
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry the scotch eggs in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per batch.
6
Serve
Remove the scotch eggs from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with mustard on the side.
