Well played John, well played

I'm a complete novice and I just tried this recipe. Firstly, they taste amazing - thanks. Secondly, be careful with how much sausage you wrap around the egg. If you use too much the pork will be under cooked even when the outside looks done or even passed done. When you make your patty squish it out just a little more. Other than that I feel like I was successful. Thanks again.

Chef John's dry humor is an added bonus to the great recipes.

Jon, your jokes are really good and subtle. I bet a lot of people don't even catch all of them.

My Scotch Eggs turned out amazing! I bought loose garlic sausage meat from a local farmer's market. Such a great brunch item. I'll definitely make them again soon. Also, the 6 minute egg was perfect molten lava-ish.

He sounds like he's describing your showcase on The Price is Right.

'Molten' is a great way to describe a perfect soft-boiled egg, I love it.

[omcguigan]

followed this recipe and they came out absolutely perfect due to the concise instructions. I was raised on these and I just made the best ones I have ever had.

"the inside of eggs don't come seasoned"

This is why I season my chicken, not my egg.

Hi Chef John, I made these scotch eggs for my husband and they were a huge hit.  They are a little labor intensive, which is a challenge I enjoy.  the eggs were perfectly 'molten' and another plus was they stay hot as you eat them.  Thanks so much!

Hi Chef John,
The name of the Indian Mughlai (influenced by the Mughal Dynasty) recipe is "Nargisi Kofta". The word Nargisi coming from the common name Nargis, which i believe means daffodils. But you are also right in the sense that "Narcissus" is a part of the scientific name for Daffodils.

They sells this in a pouch in the stores in england. It's rare that people makes them home made. You did a nice job

[shotpin]

I have made this twice, and it turned out fantastic! The first time we used hot Italian sausage and once with sweet sausage. This is one of our favorite things to share. Thank you chef John!

I'm a scotsman, and I approve this recipe.

In Calcutta you get a version of this called Egg Devil😀. In the high end restaurant or shops they use a minced and cooked goat meat mix to cover the egg. In a poorer version they use a mix of mashed potatoes and meat. In another version, the boiled egg is cut open, the yolk is removed and replaced with a meat mixture. The outer coating is made of mashed potato. The Nargisi kofta is Scotch Eggs cooked in an onion based gravy. The covering on the egg is minced and cooked goat meat or chicken.

i love this dude's voice and the way he speaks. Like a 60's show host or something.

I’ve made these about half dozen times in the last month and my family loves them. Thank you for the recipe. :-)
