Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large eggs (hard-boiled)
1 lb. lean ground beef ((85/15))
1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt (or 1/2 teaspoon sea salt )
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and fit it with a wire rack. Lightly grease the rack.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the ground beef with salt, pepper, and spices. Divide into four balls. Pat each ball into a thin round patty.

  • Place the beef balls on the prepared wire rack. . Bake until browned on the outside and done to your liking on the inside, 20-30 minutes.
  • Allow the eggs to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving them.

EASY SCOTCH EGGS



Easy Scotch eggs image

Use a few chef's tricks to create the perfect sausage and egg snack with this step-by-step recipe

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Main course, Snack

Time 40m

Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 large eggs
300g good-quality pork sausage, skinned
1 tsp black peppercorns, crushed
140g cooked ham, shredded
25g sage, apple & onion stuffing mix
1 tsp chopped sage
1 tsp chopped thyme
1 tsp chopped parsley
100g plain flour, seasoned, plus extra for dusting
100g dried breadcrumbs
sunflower oil, for frying
piccalilli, to serve

Steps:

  • Bring a pan of salted water to a rapid boil, then lower four of the eggs into the pan and simmer for 7 mins 30 secs exactly. Scoop out and place in a bowl of iced water, cracking the shells a little (this makes them easier to peel later). Leave them to cool completely, then peel and set aside. Can be boiled the day before.
  • Put the sausagemeat, pepper, ham, stuffing and herbs in a small bowl, mix to combine, then divide into four equal balls. Squash one of the balls between a piece of cling film until it's as flat as possible. One at a time, lightly flour each cooked egg, then use the cling film to help roll the sausagemeat around the egg to completely encase. Repeat with the remaining sausageballs and eggs.
  • Beat the remaining egg and put on a plate. Put the flour and breadcrumbs on two separate plates. Roll the encased eggs in the flour, then the beaten egg and finally the breadcrumbs. Can be prepared up to a day in advance.
  • To cook the eggs, heat 5cm of the oil in a wide saucepan or wok until it reaches 160C on a cooking thermometer or until a few breadcrumbs turn golden after 10 secs in the oil. Depending on the size of your pan, lower as many eggs as you can into the oil, and cook for 8-10 mins until golden and crispy. Drain on kitchen paper, leave to cool a little, then serve halved with some piccalilli.
