Oven baked scotch eggs

Try making the traditional Scotch egg yourself – ours are oven baked, rather than fried.
Prep Time25 minutes
Cook Time40 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 4 Eggs
  • 400 g Pork Sausage meat
  • 1 tbsp Parsley fresh chopped
  • 2 tsp Dried Mixed Herbs
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • ¼ tsp Black pepper
  • 50 g Breadcrumbs dried

Instructions

  • Hard-boil the eggs for 12 minutes or soft-boil for 5. Drain, cool in cold water, then shell them.
  • Mix together the sausage meat, parsley, mixed herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Divide this mixture into 4 equal portions, then use your hands to pat each portion into a flat disc. Place an egg on top of each disc, then press the mixture around the eggs to cover them completely.
  • Roll the eggs in dried breadcrumbs to coat the surface. Chill for at least 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to Gas Mark 5/190°C/fan oven 170°C/325°F. Put the eggs on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown. Cool, then serve.
