Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound bulk sausage meat
3 tablespoons minced fresh chives
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 large egg
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
5 cups fresh breadcrumbs made from crustless French bread
1 cup all purpose flour
6 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled
Vegetable oil (for deep-frying)

Steps:

  • Mix sausage, chives, and parsley in medium bowl to blend. Whisk egg and mustard in bowl to blend. Place breadcrumbs in large bowl. Place flour in another bowl. Roll 1 hard-boiled egg in flour. Using wet hands, press 1/3 cup sausage mixture around egg to coat. Brush egg with mustard mixture, then roll in breadcrumbs, covering completely and pressing to adhere. Place Scotch egg on plate. Repeat with remaining eggs. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
  • Add enough oil to heavy large saucepan to reach depth of 1 1/2 inches. Attach deep-fry thermometer and heat oil to 325°F. Add 3 prepared eggs to oil; fry until sausage is cooked through and coating is deep brown, about 6 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer eggs to paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining 3 eggs. Serve warm.

Overall, I thought these Scotch eggs were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

I found that the eggs were a bit overcooked. I would recommend cooking them for a shorter amount of time.

These Scotch eggs were a bit too greasy for my taste.

I had some trouble getting the sausage to stick to the eggs. I ended up using a little bit of flour to help it adhere.

These Scotch eggs are a bit time-consuming to make, but they're definitely worth the effort.

I'm not a big fan of hard-boiled eggs, but I loved these Scotch eggs. The sausage and herbs really helped to balance out the flavor of the eggs.

The fresh herbs really make these Scotch eggs special. I used rosemary, thyme, and sage.

I followed the recipe exactly and the Scotch eggs turned out beautifully. They were crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside.
