I like to add chopped parsley, thyme, lots of black pepper and some garlic powder to the sausage meat.
The eggs are then deep fried until a light golden brown and then finished in the oven\.
The recipe makes four generous or hearty eggs, it could be stretched to six with a thinner meat layer.
Scotch Eggs
4 hard boiled eggs
500 g sausage meat
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley and thyme
Generous amount of fresh black pepper
|
Flour
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup fresh white bread crumbs
Oil for deep frying.

Method
Peel/ shell the hard boiled eggs.
Combine sausage meat, herbs, garlic powder and pepper. Mix
well.
Divide meat mixture into four.
Take a portion of the meat and enclose an egg. Repeat with
remaining eggs and meat.
Coat each egg with flour.
Make egg wash by whisking the egg and milk.
Dip the eggs into the egg wash and then roll in the
breadcrumbs. If time permits return the egg to the fridge to allow the crumbs
to firm around the eggs.
Heat oil and fry until a golden brown and sausage meat is
cooked through. Alternatively fry until pale golden brown, place on a tray and
cook at 160 deg C for a further 15 minutes or until sausage meat is cooked
through.
What a wonderful idea! This would make a nice treat, and I am looking forward to trying it. Thank you so much.
