BAKED SCOTCH EGGS WITH MUSTARD SAUCE
You can save a lot of time by not grinding your own pork, but these directions provide tips for that. I've also included a handy way to peel soft boiled eggs, which I prefer for this recipe over hard boiled eggs. The mustard sauce is adapted from Robert Irvine's recipe.

Steps:
- Toast fennel seeds on stove, keeping them moving constantly, until they turn a golden brown color, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool, then grind in spice grinder. Combine with salt, pepper, and parsley in small cup.
- If grinding your own pork, trim fat from pork and cut into 1" cubes.
- Combine the blend from Step 1 with the pork. If grinding your own pork, put in freezer for 1 hour before using in meat grinder. If not, then refrigerate until ready to use.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place 4 eggs in a pot of cold water that just covers the eggs. Heat until the water achieves a rolling boil. Remove pot from heat immediately, and allow to sit for 8 minutes. Remove eggs from hot water and immerse in ice water. NOTE: 8 minutes give the eggs a soft center. Allow to sit for 10 minutes to hard boil eggs.
- To peel egg shell, tap the bottom of one egg to crack it. Use a spoon to carefully peel the shell away from the egg while rotating the egg. Repeat for each egg. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- If grinding your own pork, remove pork from the freezer and grind.
- Divide the sausage into 4 equal portions and flatten into a disc shape. Place the eggs in the center of the discs and carefully wrap the sausage around them, ensuring that there are no openings.
- Place the breadcrumbs in a bowl. Whisk the remaining egg in another bowl. Roll each sausage wrapped egg in the egg wash to fully coat, then roll in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
- Place sausage wrapped eggs on an ungreased cookie sheet and cook for 30 minutes, until the outside turns golden brown.
- Combine mayonnaise, mustard, and lemon juice to create mustard sauce.

Steps:
- Place 6 eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Add the vinegar and bring to a boil, then remove from the heat, cover and set aside 4 minutes. Meanwhile, fill a bowl with ice water. Using a slotted spoon, remove the eggs and immediately plunge into the ice water to stop the cooking; let sit 2 minutes. Gently peel the eggs and set aside.
- Combine the sausage, herbs and one of the remaining eggs in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until combined, about 3 minutes. With moistened hands, mold the sausage mixture around the cooked eggs to completely cover.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat about 3 inches of grapeseed oil in a small high-sided saucepan over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 325 degrees F (or until a pinch of panko sizzles in the oil). Season the flour with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Beat the remaining egg with the milk in another shallow dish. Put the panko in a third shallow dish.
- Roll the sausage-covered eggs in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess. Transfer to the egg-milk mixture and turn to completely coat. Let the excess egg drip off, then roll in the panko.
- Fry the eggs until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove to a baking sheet, transfer to the oven and bake until the sausage is cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Mix the mayonnaise, mustard and lemon juice in a small bowl. Serve with the Scotch eggs.

Work all the ingredients well into the sausage with your hands. Make a coating for each hand boiled egg out of the sausage, working it round the eggs with wet hands to form an even layer. Roll the covered eggs in beaten egg, and then in dried breadcrumbs. 5. Carefully slide in 3 eggs and fry for 4 to 5 minutes, until they turn deep golden brown. Turn them as they cook so that they brown evenly. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towel, and repeat with the remaining 3 eggs. Serve eggs with mustard sauce.

Store the Scotch eggs in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to 1 month. ###Conclusion:
