Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Scotch Eggs.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) while you heat oil in a deep fryer to a sizzling 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Next, grab a saucepan and gently place your eggs inside, covering them with water.
Step 3
Bring the water to a lively boil, then cover the pot and take it off the heat.
Step 4
Let those eggs bask in the hot water for about 10 to 12 minutes, allowing them to cook perfectly.
Step 5
Once the time is up, cool the eggs in a bowl of cold water before peeling them to reveal their beautiful, smooth surfaces.
Step 6
Now, take your pork sausage and flatten it out like a little pancake.
Step 7
Carefully wrap a piece of sausage around each peeled egg, making sure it’s completely encased in that savory goodness.
Step 8
For a little extra crunch, lightly dust the sausage-wrapped eggs with flour, then dip them in beaten eggs, and roll them in seasoned breadcrumbs until they’re fully coated.
Step 9
It’s time for the fun part! Gently lower the prepared eggs into the hot oil and fry them until they turn a gorgeous golden brown, turning them occasionally for even cooking.
Step 10
Once they’re perfectly crispy, transfer them to a baking sheet and pop them in the preheated oven for an additional 10 minutes to ensure they’re cooked through.
Step 11
Finally, slice those delightful Scotch Eggs in half and serve them warm, ready to impress your family and friends with your culinary skills.
Step 12
Enjoy every bite of this delicious treat!.
