SCOTCH EGG RECIPE
Ingredients
• 500g sausage meat
• 8 medium sized eggs
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 cup fine dried breadcrumbs
• 2 eggs - For egg wash
• 1 tsp. Pepper - Optional
• 1 tsp. Nutmeg - Optional
• 1 tsp. salt
• Cooking oil for deep frying
Directions
Step 1: Get three bowls. Pour the all purpose flour in one bowl, Pour the bread crumbs in the second bowl, Crack open the 2 eggs in the final bowl and whisk - Set this aside.
Step 2: Place the 8 eggs in a pot of water and boil till you see cracks on the shell. By then you'll know it's hard boiled. Drain off the hot water and run the eggs through cold water immediately. This helps the shell come off smoothly. Remove the egg shell and set aside.
Step 3: Place the sausage in a medium sized bowl and add salt, pepper and nutmeg. Mix thoroughly to combine, Then divide into 8 portions.
Step 4: Open up the plastic bag and place one portion of sausage meat. Close the plastic bag and roll out the sausage meat with the rolling pin.
Step 5: Place one hard boiled egg in the center of the flattened sausage and mold the sausage around the egg using the nylon into a round ball.
Step 6: Roll the wrapped egg in flour, then dip in the beaten egg and finally dip in the breadcrumbs and coat generously.
Step 7: Heat the cooking oil in a deep pan till very hot then gently lower the wrapped eggs into the oil. Leave to deep fry for about 7-10 minutes on one side, turn and do the same on the other side on low heat till golden brown while turning consistently.
Step 8: Remove the scotched eggs from the oil and drain on a paper towel. Leave to cool slightly then Serve!
