Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup finely crushed corn flakes
7 ounces (3/4 cup) fresh breakfast sausage, casings removed (if necessary)
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
Mustard
Special Equipment
A deep-fry thermometer

Steps:

  • Place 4 eggs in a small saucepan; add cold water to cover. Bring to a boil; remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 3 minutes. Carefully drain, then fill pan with ice water to cool eggs. Gently crack shells and carefully peel under cold running water. Place eggs in a bowl of cold water; cover and chill until cold. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
  • Place flour in a wide shallow bowl and crushed corn flakes in another wide shallow bowl. Divide sausage into 4 equal portions. Pat 1 portion of sausage into a thin patty over the length of your palm. Lay 1 soft-boiled egg on top of sausage and wrap sausage around egg, sealing to completely enclose. Repeat with remaining sausage and eggs.
  • Whisk remaining 2 eggs in a medium bowl to blend. Working gently with 1 sausage wrapped egg at a time, dip eggs into flour, shaking off excess, then coat in egg wash. Roll in corn flakes to coat. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated, uncovered.
  • Attach a deep-fry thermometer to side of a large heavy pot. Pour in oil to a depth of 2" and heat over medium heat to 375°F. Fry eggs, turning occasionally and maintaining oil temperature of 350°F, until sausage is cooked through and breading is golden brown and crisp, 5-6 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer eggs to paper towels to drain. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Serve warm with mustard.

The Scotch eggs were a bit bland. I think they needed more seasoning.

These Scotch eggs were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used less oil.

I'm not a huge fan of Scotch eggs, but I have to say, these were pretty good. The sausage was flavorful and the egg was cooked perfectly.

I've made Scotch eggs before, but this recipe was by far the best. The eggs were so moist and flavorful, and the sausage was nice and crispy. I'll be using this recipe from now on.

These Scotch eggs were absolutely delicious! The sausage was perfectly seasoned and the egg was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making these again.
