British · Appetizer · 35 min total

A simple and delicious homemade Scotch egg, perfect for a pub-style platter. Hard-boiled eggs wrapped in seasoned sausage meat, breaded, and fried until golden.

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1 lb (450g) pork sausage meat
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp dried sage
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

1. Place 4 eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 6 minutes. Transfer to ice water, then peel.
2. In a bowl, combine sausage meat, salt, pepper, sage, and nutmeg. Divide into 4 equal portions.
3. Flatten each portion into a patty, place an egg in the center, and wrap the meat around the egg, sealing completely.
4. Set up a breading station: flour in one dish, beaten eggs in another, and panko in a third.
5. Roll each wrapped egg in flour, then dip in egg, then coat with panko.
6. Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry eggs in batches for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through.
7. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips

• For a softer yolk, boil eggs for 5 minutes instead of 6.
• These can be made ahead and reheated in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes.
• Serve with mustard or a tangy dipping sauce.
