This looks like one of the egg skillets at Bob Evans restaurants, but it's not. This dish is very versatile. You can add all kinds of things to it, such as bacon, ham, onion, peppers, and so on. Recipe: Zwickerhillphotog.com Photo: fiberfarm.com

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 eggs
2 c fresh bread crumbs
1 Tbsp butter
1/2 c grated cheddar cheese or cheese of your choice
1 c half and half
2 Tbsp chopped fresh chives
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Butter a 2-qt. casserole dish. Place bread crumbs over the bottom of the dish.
  • 2. Place eggs in the dish, spacing them evenly. Salt and pepper to taste. DO NOT break the yolks. Sprinkle liberally with chives.
  • 3. Top with grated cheese; Pour half and half over all.
  • 4. You may also add other ingredients to your liking, but meats and vegetables should be pre-cooked.
  • 5. Bake in a preheated 400-degree oven for 20 minutes for firm eggs, 15 minutes for softer eggs. DO NOT open the oven door until the time has elapsed, or they won't souffle.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest eggs possible. This will ensure that your scotch eggs have the best flavor and texture.
  • Hard-boil the eggs perfectly. The yolks should be cooked through but still slightly soft and runny. You can also use soft or medium-boiled eggs if you prefer a different texture.
  • Use a variety of fillings. Some popular fillings include sausage meat, minced beef, bacon, cheese, and vegetables. You can also get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations.
  • Bread the scotch eggs. This will help to keep the filling moist and prevent the eggs from cracking during frying.
  • Fry the scotch eggs until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a crispy coating.
  • Serve the scotch eggs hot or cold. They are delicious either way!

Conclusion:

Scotch eggs are a delicious and versatile appetizer or main course. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create scotch eggs that are sure to impress your friends and family.
