Easy Scotch Eggs
- 1 lb pork breakfast sausage, casings removed
- to taste Salt
- 4 whole large eggs plus 1 egg, beaten
- All-purpose flour, for dredging
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (I used a 50/50 mix of panko and Italian)
- Pinch black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or other vegetable oil
Steps
-
Heat oven to 400°F. Divide sausage meat into four equal portions, roll into balls, and chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.
-
Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to boil over high heat. When the water is boiling lower the eggs into the boiling water with a slotted spoon. Boil the eggs for 4 to 6 minutes (4 minutes for runny yolks, 6 minutes for creamy yolks). Meanwhile, fill a medium bowl with ice, cold water, and salt. When the eggs are done boiling, transfer to the ice water bath and let cool. Once cool, dry the eggs and carefully peel.
-
Rub a thin layer of oil on your hands. Press a sausage ball into your hands to flatten to a thickness of about ⅓ inch. Repeat to form 4 sausage patties. Place a floured egg in the middle of each patty and wrap the patty around the egg. Smooth the surface of the sausage so to form an even coating.
