This dish , also known as “Scotch Eggs” or “Scots Eggs”, is traditionally deep fried but can also be baked, so I have included two sets of instructions with this recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

- 6 Hard Boiled Eggs

- 1 lb of Country Style Sausage Meat

- 1 Teaspoon of Chopped Fresh Sage, or 1/2 Teaspoon of Dried

- 1 Teaspoon of Chopped Fresh Thyme, or 1/2 Teaspoon of Dried

- 1/4 Teaspoon of Freshly Ground Black Pepper

- 1/4 Teaspoon of Freshly Grated Nutmeg or Ground

- 2 Tablespoons of All Purpose Flour Poured Into a Flat Plate

- 2 Eggs Beaten Into a Bowl

- 1 Cup of Bread Crumbs

- Peanut or Vegetable Oil For Frying

DIRECTIONS:

1 - Combine well, the sausage meat, herbs, pepper and nutmeg in a bowl.

2- Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape into patties

3 - With your hands, carefully shape and mold the patties around each egg.

4 - Roll each coated egg into flour and shake off the excess

5 - Dip the coated egg into the raw beaten egg, then gently roll it into the breadcrumbs and cover completely.

6 - Deep fry the eggs, 2 at a time, until golden brown.

7 - Transfer the cooked eggs to a plate lined with paper towel to drain using a slotted spoon.

8 - Let the eggs rest for 5 minutes before eating.

BAKED VERSION:

1 - Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F

2 - Repeat steps 1-5 above only instead of frying, place eggs in a lightly greased 13×9 baking dish

3 - Bake for 30 minutes, turning the eggs halfway through cooking time.

Enjoy!
