Take note
Handle raw eggs and meat with caution, and make sure to cook the eggs thoroughly to avoid any foodborne illnesses.

1

Boil the eggs

Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let them simmer for 4-6 minutes. This will ensure soft-boiled eggs with perfectly runny yolks.

2

Peel the eggs

Once the eggs are cooked, carefully transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool down. Let them sit for a few minutes, then gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell. Peel away the shell, being careful not to damage the eggs.

3

Wrap the eggs in sausage

Take a handful of sausage meat and flatten it into a thin patty. Place a peeled egg in the center, then wrap the sausage around it, making sure the egg is completely covered. Repeat this step for the remaining eggs.

4

Coat the eggs with breadcrumbs

In a shallow dish, pour some breadcrumbs. Roll each sausage-wrapped egg in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure they stick. You can also add some herbs or spices to the breadcrumbs for extra flavor.

5

Fry or bake the scotch eggs

Heat some oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Carefully place the coated eggs in the pan and cook until they turn golden brown on all sides. Alternatively, you can bake the scotch eggs in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes until they're beautifully crispy.

6

Let them cool and pack for the picnic

Once cooked, transfer the scotch eggs to a wire rack to cool down. This will help retain their crispiness. Once they're cool, pack them in an airtight container and they're ready to go! Enjoy your picnic with these delicious scotch eggs.
