1

Boil the Eggs

Place the eggs in a saucepan and fill with cold water. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 7 minutes. This will give you perfectly cooked yolks and set whites.

2

Peel the Eggs

Once the eggs are cooked, transfer them to a bowl filled with ice water. Let them cool for a couple of minutes, then gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell. Start peeling from the cracked area, using your fingertips or a spoon. Rinse the peeled eggs under cold water to remove any shell fragments.

3

Wrap the Eggs in Meat

Take some sausage meat or ground meat of your choice and divide it into portions. Flatten each portion with your palm into a thin patty. Place a peeled egg in the center of each patty and carefully wrap the meat around the egg, ensuring it is fully covered. Repeat for all the eggs.

4

Bake the Scotch Eggs

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the wrapped eggs onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the meat is cooked through and golden brown. You can also turn on the broiler for the last couple of minutes to get an extra crispy exterior!
