Hello Everyone,

A hard-boiled egg encased in sausage and bread crumbs and then deep-fried may seem like a product of modern pub culture, but the Scotch egg was actually invented by London department store Fortnum & Mason in 1738.

🇬🇧 Scotch Eggs

Ready in: 1h
Servings: 8

Ingredients

10 Eggs
500 Grams good-quality Pork Sausages, skins removed
2 tbsp. Dijon Mustard
2 tbsp. Chopped Chives
2 tbsp. Chopped Parsley
200 Grams Plain Flour
125 Grams dried Breadcrumbs or Panko
60 ml Milk
Oil for deep frying
Salt and Black Pepper

1. Place 8 eggs in a pan of cold water. Bring to the boil and simmer over medium heat for 2 minutes. Then plunge the eggs into a bowl of iced water and set aside.

2. Place the sausage meat, Dijon mustard, chopped herbs and 2 tablespoons of cold water in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix well to combine. Form into 8 patties.

3. Carefully peel the eggs and gently pat them dry with a paper towel. Enclose each egg in a sausage meat patty, shaping with your hands to ensure the egg is completely covered.

4. Chill the meat covered eggs for 15 minutes.

5. Season the flour with salt and pepper, then spread it on a plate. Spread breadcrumbs on a separate plate.

6. In a bowl, beat milk with the remaining two eggs.

7. Roll the sausage-encased eggs first in the flour, then in the milk mixture, and finally in the breadcrumbs to coat well. Chill again for 15 minutes.

8. Preheat the oven to 175°C or 350°F.

9. Half-fill a deep fryer or a large pan with oil and heat to 190°C or 375°F. A cube of bread will turn golden in 30 seconds when the oil is hot enough. Fry the eggs, in batches, for 2 minutes or until golden.

10. Place the eggs on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 10 minutes until the meat is cooked through. Serve warm or cold.
