Scotch Eggs
One of my favorite treats when I was a child was a Scotch Egg. A hard-boiled egg wrapped in sausage meat and breaded is the perfect snack and great to take on picnics, plus they just taste great! I haven’t had one in years since I would have to make them myself here in the US and my husband can’t eat eggs, but here’s the recipe so I can feel nostalgic….
To make 6 Scotch Eggs, you will need:
6 hard boiled eggs, chilled
1 lb sausage meat / breakfast sausage
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup breadcrumbs
oil for frying (yes, these are fattening!)
Divide the sausage into 6 portions. Shell the eggs, roll in flour, and then use your hands to press the sausage around the egg. Dip in the beaten egg and roll in breadcrumbs.
Fry in hot oil for 4-5 minutes. Drain.
They can be eaten hot or cold. Personally, I like cold but to each his own.
