Steps:
- To make the mustard sauce: Crack 1 egg into a small saucepan. With the heat on low, stir in mayonnaise, mustard and sugar. When it just starts to boil, it's done. Remove and let sit until cool, then chill for at least 10 minutes.
- Place 6 whole eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and cook eggs for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, peel.
- Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Put the sausage into a bowl with the finely parsley, lemon rind, nutmeg, marjoram, salt and pepper. 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.
- 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.

SCOTCH EGGS WITH MUSTARD SAUCE
These eggs are a comfort food in Scotland and are just wonderful. The only thing that could make them better.... would be to eat them in the Highlands on a brisk winter day.

Steps:
- 1. Hard boil 4 eggs. Then drop in an ice bath and chilll well then peel them. Proceed after eggs are quite cold. I usually do this step the day before.
- 2. Divide the sausage in fourths. Using 2 pieces of plastic wrap lightly flour the sage and roll out thinly. Next roll each egg in flour and place each on a sausage patty.
- 3. Now coverage roll sausage neatly around each egg and roll well, you want it firmly around egg, then roll this in the flour then the egg wash and next into bread crumbs. For extra crispy coating repeat this procedure. Then place in the fridge for 30 minutes. This is a good time to make mustard sauce.
- 4. After 30 minutes, deep fry at 350 till golden brown. Cut in half and place on undressed salad or lettice leaf. Serve with mustard sauce or if from Texas, just throw some hot sauce on it.
- 5. Note on eggs: I make my own bread crumbs and know they are extra fine but it is just as good and easy to use store bought crumbs.
- 6. For the mustard sauce: Put olive oil in a little skillet and add in the shallot for about 5 minutes till tender. Stir in flour and keep stirring for a couple of minutes to cook the raw off the flour. Add in the wine and the water/stock. Whisk in the grainy mustard and cook till reduced by half. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar. Turn off heat and stir in the sour cream. If you like you can add a small touch of thyme into the shallots.

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.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat, heat the oil to 325 degrees F (or until hot enough to sizzle when a breadcrumb is dropped in). DO NOT ALLOW OIL TO SMOKE!
- In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle, mix together the sausage meat, fresh herbs, and 1 whole egg. Mix together until softened and pliable. Take hard-boiled eggs and wrap sausage mixture around completely covering the egg.
- In preparation for breading, prepare the following: Season flour by adding salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Take remaining beaten egg and mix with milk in another shallow dish. Put panko breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
- First roll the sausage-covered egg into the seasoned flour. Shake off excess flour and move to the beaten egg mixture and cover completely with egg. Remove any excess, then roll in breadcrumbs. Drop immediately into hot oil and cook until golden brown. Remove, place on sheet pan, and place in oven for approximately 10 to12 minutes or until sausage meat is cooked.
- For sauce, mix mayonnaise, mustard and lemon juice together and serve with scotch eggs.
Tips:
- For perfectly hard-boiled eggs, place them in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let stand for 10-12 minutes, then drain and immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- When wrapping the eggs in sausage meat, make sure to use your hands to evenly distribute the meat around the egg. This will help to prevent the sausage from cracking during cooking.
- To ensure that the scotch eggs are cooked through, fry them in hot oil until they are golden brown on all sides. You can also insert a meat thermometer into the center of an egg to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Serve the scotch eggs with your favorite dipping sauce. Mustard sauce is a classic choice, but you can also try ketchup, brown sauce, or even a simple vinaigrette.
Conclusion:
Scotch eggs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or snack. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little practice, you can make perfect scotch eggs that will impress your friends and family.
