Scotch Eggs

Recently I discovered what Scotch Eggs were and this caused me to go into a state of needing to have some. Unfortunately I live in New England and not Olde England and people don’t make them on every street corner.

In order to solve my predicament I knew I’d have to take matters into my own hands.

This is what I used to make them:

6 not quite hard boiled eggs. 2 for a snack and the others to cook with

Worcestershire sauce

Crushed red pepper

Adobo

Minced Garlic

Chopped onions

Another egg

Bread Crumbs

Ground Sausage

So I mixed the sausage, onions and the spices then slapped a handful down on the cutting board. I then made a meat nest for the egg to rest in but mostly to taunt it. Then I molded the mixture around until it completely enveloped the egg and all hope was lost.

Next I beat the raw egg and took its lunch money. I rolled the sausage covered eggs in the beaten egg and coated them in bread crumbs.

I cooked them @ 400 until they were cooked.

So delicious! I just split it and put hot sauce on it.

Scotch egg sammie!

Ok but where’s the scotch? I’m not against drinking scotch for breakfast but the recipe is missing a bit

I drank it while cooking.

Oh sweet Jesus! I just had breakfast and now I’m hungry. I have 18 eggs in the fridge - this recipe goes on the menu for this week.

It literally changed my life.

I’m thinking that when I try this I might try a mixture of Neese’s Country Sausage with a bit of scrapple. I’ve also been told that bacon bits help - though the logical place for them might be *in* the breading.

Interesting. I might have to try making these.

Yeah there is plenty of room for improvement in the meat. I want to try it again with buffalo.

Mix a little bit of black pudding in with the sausage meat, also eat it with some HP Brown Sauce.

Your life will never be the same again.

I highly recommend it. I made mine pretty spicy but there’s lots of variation with the meat wrappings.

I think deep-frying is also worth a try. Probably in peanut oil.

Yeah, those aren’t exactly available to me easily but I’d give it a go.

Yeah I dunno they were pretty greasy baked. I don’t see this ending well.

So much yes! I’m currently eating some yogurt with fruit in it. I want to sling it across the room into a wall and leave work for the day to go make about 100 of these.

I love yogurt but it really doesn’t compete with sausage wrapped eggs.

They are great, ideal for picnics and general hand food.

You’ll have to try a Scotch egg pie next time.

Black pudding is just blood sausage and HP brown sauce apparently is very similar to America’s A1 Original steak sauce.

If your near any large city in the U.S. there should be a British shop around.

No kitchen is ready without HP brown sauce. Great with chips (fries), bacon butties (bacon roll or sandwich) or pies.

I heartily agree.

I’m intentionally not near any large city but I’ll have to look into getting some HP sauce. Surely I can get it from the internet if all else fails.

They are! I will be making them again in the future for sure.

If you really can’t get hold of any HP sauce I’ll see if I can send you some over. Not sure how well black pudding would do being shipped that far, it’d probably give you some kind of disease.

Do you guys not have black pudding in the US?

I’m sure I could find HP sauce if I really looked. We do have blood sausage but it is not popular. Again I’m sure I could come up with some but I can’t just pop down to the corner store and get some.

The links are a couple of U.S. sites for it but there are many places in the U.S. to get British supplies.

There are certain things a Brit can't do without when abroad.

That’s fair enough, a lot of people here won’t eat it either. If you do get the chance though it’ll really up your scotch egg game.

My grampa used to eat it on the regular so I’ve had it before. I’m not a blood and organs kind of guy so I may just keep my scotch eggs game on the lower level haha.

I’m sure it’ll be fine if you just add some bacon and cheese...

Any Idea how long that was approximately? (I don’t wanna be popping the oven open every three minutes if its gonna be for an hour ya know)

Also, a not quite hard boiled egg is just shortened cooking time or what?

CalzoneGolem > Shiyal 07/14/2015 at 12:36

I really don’t have any idea how long it was in the over I kinda cook by feel. I started smelling them so I turned them over and let them cook some more.

Yeah I just boiled some water then turned it off and put my eggs in and put the cover one then went about my business

This might be a better recipe for you: http://www.food.com/recipe/baked-s…

Thanks, I’m gonna try this when later this week. Actually just remembered I have a Scottish recipe book somewhere that I picked up at some thrift store. Stuff looks awesome.

I can’t imagine the amount of organ meat in that book!

So I decided I couldn't wait till later. I stopped at the meat shop on the way home for a pound of fresh sausage. The family agreed this is definitely something we're making for breakfasts some morning. Thanks for the inspiration.
