Scotch Eggs
Scotch Eggs are easier to make than you think! Made with store-bought breakfast sausages and a simple breading procedure, they're delicious, savory, and crunchy.
Ingredients
- 5 large eggs
- 10 ounces breakfast sausage (casings removed)
For breading
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the eggs and reduce to low heat. Cover and cook for 12-13 minutes. Drain and cover with cold water to cool down. Peel and set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
- Add the breadcrumbs to another bowl.
- Divide the sausage into 5 portions.
- Put a square of plastic wrap on your counter. Put one sausage portion in the center and flatten it into a circle.
- Place an egg in the center and use the plastic wrap to wrap the sausage around the egg. Peel the plastic wrap to release the egg.
- Dip the egg in egg wash, shake off excess, then roll it in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
- Deep-fry at 350°F for 4-6 minutes or spray with oil and air-fry at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping once, until golden brown and the meat is cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Enjoy!
