How to Make Scotch Eggs

By woodsusa, eHow Member

Having lived in London for nine years I developed a taste for the country's finer cuisine...fish 'n chips, curry, and sausage rolls! But while these are pretty well known this side of the pond most people in the US have never seen or tasted a Scotch Egg. This is a super easy recipe for a delicious treat that is perfect for picnics or lunches on the go!

Instructions: Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need -
- Eggs
- Sausage meat
- flour
- bread crumbs
- oil for deep frying

• Step1

First decide how many you want to make. I have found that one average roll of sausage meat will make about 4 or 5 decent Scotch eggs. You'll need 1 extra egg that is uncooked. Hard boil all the eggs (except the one) and let them cool before removing the shells.

• 
  Step2

Roll your hard boiled eggs in the flour to coat.

• 
  Step3

Take a lump of sausage meat and flatten it out in a circle. Place the egg on the circle and pinch the sausage together to cover the egg. You should have a 'sausage ball' with an egg inside. This might take a little practice, just have patience!

• 
  Step4

Beat the uncooked egg and roll your sausage/egg balls in it. Then roll them in the bread crumbs.

• 
  Step5

Deep fry them til golden brown. If you are using a deep fat fryer this will only take about 3-4 minutes. You want to make sure the sausage is cooked thoroughly!

• 
  Step6

Enjoy! Slicing them in half reveals the egg inside...kids especially like to see this!
