Imagine taking your breakfast favorites and turning them into a portable delight! Scotch Eggs are all about elevating the humble hard-boiled egg by giving it a cozy wrap of seasoned sausage and a crunchy crumb. It's like having a delicious surprise in every bite. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a picnic treat, these savory goodies make every meal feel a tad bit more special.
Start by boiling 4 eggs. Place them in a saucepan, cover with water, and boil for about 7-9 minutes.
Once boiled, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool. Peel the shells once the eggs are cool enough to handle.
Meanwhile, remove the casings from 1 lb of pork sausages and mix the sausage meat thoroughly.
Divide the sausage meat into 4 equal portions. Take each portion and flatten it into a patty shape.
Wrap each boiled egg with the sausage meat, ensuring the egg is completely covered.
Place 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 beaten egg, and 1 cup of breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls.
Dredge each sausage-wrapped egg first in flour, then in beaten egg, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or deep pan to a temperature of 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Scotch Eggs in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes.
Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
Let them cool slightly before serving, then enjoy your delicious homemade Scotch Eggs!
