Alright, but now it’s recipe time, Scotch eggs! Have you ever heard of them before. If not, don’t feel left out because neither had I until a few years ago when I got into the foodie world.

When I did finally learn what they were I was so excited to make them and I’ve been wanting to do it ever since but kept putting it off. For anyone who didn’t already know, a Scotch egg is boiled egg that’s been peeled, wrapped in sausage, dipped in breading, and then deep fried (or in some cases baked). Basically, we’re talking a guy’s perfect dream food here.

Anyway, these brilliant creations are fairly simple to make and I think I can pretty much guarantee they’ll be a crowd-pleaser. They’re so proper and British feeling but at the same time they can double as a great party food. I was thinking about how the Superbowl is coming up very soon

RECIPE

Ingredients

5 eggs, divided
1 pound ground pork or sausage
1 tablespoon worchestershire
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup water
1 cup seasoned dry breadcrumbs
2/3 cup flour
1 quart of oil for frying (optional)

Instructions

1. Place the eggs in a small pot and cover with about an inch of water. Place the pot over medium high heat and bring to a boil. Boil the eggs for about 3 minutes then immediately remove them from the hot water and rinse them under ice cold water. Sea them aside to cool completely, then peel them very carefully and set aside.
   2/ Mix the pork, remaining egg, worchestershire, mustard, garlic powder, salt, paparika, and pepper in a stinless steel bowl until well combined, then divide into 4 portions. Flatten each portion, one at a time, into a patty and place one of the boiled eggs in the center. Gently wrap the meat around the egg to seal it completely in meat
2. Pour the breadcrumbs and flour into two separate shallow bowls or pie pans, then mix the mayo and water in a third. Dip each wrapped egg in the flour, then the mayo/water mixture, then the breadcrumbs and turn to coat all sides.
3. To bake the eggs, place them on a foil lined baking tray and preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 C). Place the tray in the oven and bake for about 24 to 28 minutes until the outside is golden brown and the meat is fully cooked.
4. To fry them, heat the oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan over medium high heat until it reaches 300 degrees F (150 C) and carefully drop the eggs in. Cook on each side for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towel lined plate to cool.
5. Serve them hot with any desired condiments.
