Scotch Eggs - no deep-fryer needed

Here is my method for wrapping and cooking the perfect scotch egg. Feel free to add anything to the sausage mixture - black pudding or chorizo are my favourites.

you will need
4 eggs (plus 1 for breading)
3 tasty sausages
a bit of flour and some breadcrumbs (I recommend panko breadcrumbs)

This is the best method. I’ve done it 3 times now. I only add parsley, Dijon and Worcestershire to mild Italian sausage. But I do love the pre fry and oven.

Thanks for the concise video, I appreciate the clear instructions without the nonsense too often bundled into cooking youtubes.

These look amazing, I can’t wait to try making these. Thanks for a nice and clear and easy to follow video 😊

It seems like these eggs must be the comfort food of childhood and good old days for the Scots. Good that you had the courage to warn others of the dangers of deep-frying. I once bought an official deep fryer, but after correctly following directions, it boiled over, thankfully onto a tray I had placed underneath. Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦

Hi!! This video is GREAT and it helped me a lot. THANKS! I'm an English teacher from Argentina. I read about this in a reading comprehension exercise in one of the books I use for teaching. I gave it a try... and it worked really well! Easy, original and delicious! Cheers, mate

would it be ok to skip the egg/flour & just use breadcrumbs?

[alfi]

Al - the egg yolk actually paid me. Should I beat it less hard next time?

[sagrammyfour]

I guess these are great for a picnic, but they are a LOT of trouble. I fried two eggs over easy, browned some grade A park sausage, and toasted some good bread crispy--same result--a lot less trouble.

I do soft boiled eggs using the Ronnie Corbett method: bring the water to a boil, add eggs, turn off heat, wait 10 minutes. It's never failed me. The breadcrumbs and frying is one way to do it, but you can also dispense with the breadcrumbs and grill them.

do you flour your boiled egg before wrapping in sausage? another chef had that step but not many other posters include it

[jonathanjackson]

Hi Alex - Thanks for the post. I have 3 questions... Do you cover the eggs you put in the fridge for eating a few days later? How do you get rid of the oil if you make these in saucepan? How many times can you recycle previously used oil in other dishes?

I personally like Air Frying my Scotch Eggs. 390f 200c for 12 minutes spray with oil turn halfway and you can spray again. this allows the center to warm but not harden
