1

Boil and peel the eggs

Start by boiling your eggs to perfection. Place the eggs in a saucepan filled with cold water and bring it to a boil. Let the eggs simmer for about 9-10 minutes. Once done, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool them down. Gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel off the shell and set the eggs aside.

2

Prepare the spicy mixture

In a bowl, mix together your favorite spicy ingredients. You can use a combination of cayenne pepper, paprika, chili powder, or any other hot spices you enjoy. Take a moment to appreciate the heat you're about to add to your scotch eggs. It's gonna be spicy!

3

Coat the eggs with spice

Roll each peeled egg in the spicy mixture, making sure to coat them evenly. Get those eggs nice and covered in the fiery goodness. Give them a little extra kick!

4

Wrap the eggs with seasoned sausage

Take your favorite sausage meat and divide it into equal portions. Flatten each portion into a thin layer. Place a spiced egg in the center of the flattened sausage meat and gently wrap the meat around the egg until it's fully covered. Repeat with the remaining eggs. The spicy surprise is hidden inside!

5

Bake or fry your spicy scotch eggs

Choose your preferred cooking method! To bake, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the wrapped scotch eggs on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the sausage is cooked through and golden brown. To fry, heat oil in a deep pan and carefully lower the scotch eggs into the hot oil. Fry them for around 6-8 minutes, or until the sausage is fully cooked and crispy. Be cautious with the hot oil!

6

Serve and enjoy!

Once cooked, remove the spicy scotch eggs from the oven or oil and let them cool for a few minutes. Slice each scotch egg in half and marvel at your spicy creation. Serve them as a snack, a side dish, or even as the star of your meal. Get ready to experience a fiery twist to the classic scotch eggs!
