Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Oven Baked Scotch Eggs.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a sizzling 450°F (230°C) and prepare a baking pan by lining it with aluminum foil.
Step 2
For optimal cooking, place a wire rack atop the foil to catch any drippings.
Step 3
Next, take your pork sausage and divide it into 2-ounce portions, shaping each into a flat patty.
Step 4
Nestle a peeled hard-boiled egg in the center of each patty, carefully encasing the egg with the sausage to ensure it is completely covered.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk a raw egg until smooth.
Step 6
In another bowl, pour out Italian bread crumbs.
Step 7
Take each sausage-wrapped egg, dip it into the beaten egg, and then roll it in the bread crumbs, ensuring a thorough coating.
Step 8
Arrange the beautifully coated Scotch eggs on the wire rack in your baking pan.
Step 9
Slide them into the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until they achieve a golden-brown hue and are cooked through.
Step 10
Once done, remove them from the oven and serve hot, relishing the delightful crunch of the exterior paired with the savory sausage and perfectly cooked egg within.
Step 11
Enjoy this delicious twist on a classic treat!.
