Recipe - Scotch Eggs


Ingredients

4 slices of bread to make breadcrumbs

5 eggs

8 of your favourite sausages (I just used standard sausages but next time I might be more adventurous)

Method to the madness



Put the 4 slices of bread in an oven at 150°C for 20 minutes until completely dried. When cool, place in a  bag and crush until you have breadcrumbs - I used a rolling pin to bash it up and make it easier.



Part boil 4 of the eggs by putting them in boiling water for 4 minutes (if the eggs are at room temperature), or 6 minutes (if they are from the fridge).

Place the boiled eggs in cold water for a few minutes, gently tapping them to crack the shell. The shell will now peel off easily.




Take the sausages and slice off the skins and then squish all the meat in to a ball

That sausage looks like my little finger!

Gently squeeze and shape the sausage meat evenly around the eggs.





Crack the remaining egg into a bowl and whisk with a fork. Put flour in a bowl and the breadcrumbs in another bowl.




Roll each of the scotch eggs in the flour, then the whisked egg, and then the breadcrumbs.


Place on a baking tray and cook in a preheated oven at 160°C for 30 minutes.

It's a simple as that!
