When I was about 15 I made this for my family and my Dad was very impressed, then 15 years later I made them with my wife’s help and she loved them, I just put the ingredients on the shopping list haven’t had them for 30 years looking forward to making them.

Our family recently tried Scotch Eggs at an Irish Pub in Colorado. They were so yummy I became curious about how to make them. Just came across this video 😊 looks like you nailed it! I so want to try them for our family 😋 Thanks for the fun video 😊

Nicole you are the best. That looks amazing. At first it looked like to much sausage but it wasn't.
Way to go girl. You nailed it to the wall.

You knocked it out of the park on your first try!! I think if you put the sausage on parchment paper, it could be easier to work with but I worry about removing the shells from soft boiled eggs. Anyway, you have convinced me and Jimmy Dean to give it a try! Thanks for another great video and a different egg dish for breakfast, lunch or dinner! 😘

Thanks for posting this I am going to try this looks yummy!

You should try them with a Dijon hollandaise sauce. They are Amazing, the acidity cuts through the fatty sausage and mixes with the runny yolk to make an even richer sauce.

Not sure which drooled first, the egg or my mouth?? They look incredible!! Thank you for this recipe🥰😎🥰

[Smitty]

In my 43 years growing up in England eating hundreds if not thousands of these I have only ever had them home made once and never ever runny or hot.😮

[glendagonzalez]

Looks amazing. Going to make them this weekend.

[nataliecruz]

Gotta try this. I first saw these at a Renaissance faire and wondered how they were made. They served it with some mustard sauce.

The first time I had Scotch Eggs was at Disney World in Florida and make them at home now a couple times a month! Mmmm

[robind]

Yummy! I think I’m gonna have to try these for the first time!🤤🙏❤️

RIP Ewen "Big Keith" McIntosh, the guy who made scotch eggs more iconic than never.

A couple of little tips from a Brit!
If you put cling film (Saran Wrap) on the board, you can use another piece on top of the sausage and roll it out. Take the top one off once it's flat. place the egg in the middle and use the cling film covering the board to form the ball of sausage around the egg, it's a lot easier. Wet hands will also help with this stage.
If you are using hard boiled egg especially, you can refrigerate the scotch egg for a short time to firm up the sausage before coating.

Fun facts: The scotch egg was invented in 1738 by Fortnum & Mason as an travel snack for people travelling to and from their London store. Fortnum & Mason are still trading, selling food hampers and other foodie items.
During the Suffragette protests in 1911 (the campaign for the rights of women in the UK to vote), the windows of F&M were smashed by protesters. When the ladies in question were released from Holloway prison, the store gave the protesters hampers!

These always intimidated me too much to try. Ain't gonna lie. I'll try to brave it. One day. Lol
