Deep Fried Scotch Eggs

Deep Fried Scotch Eggs are so simple to make, look impressive and taste amazing. They contain only a few ingredients but when combined make a British dish that is both filling and tasty. The addition of the chives and flat leaf parsley make it perfect. Serve as a main dish, starter, snack and ideal as a picnic treat. I have included sausage meat in this recipe but as I also use my favourite sausages and remove them from their skins.

Ingredients

 

MetricImperial

• 400 g sausage meat
• 6 large eggs free range
• 7 tbsp breadcrumbs finer the better
• 1 large eggs beaten
• 1 tsp mustard strong
• ½ bunch chives finely chopped
• ½ bunch parsley finely chopped

Instructions

• Bring a pan of water to the boil and lower the 6 eggs in.
• Boil for 4 minutes and then transfer to a bowl of cold water to cool off. When cold carefully peel. The eggs will still have a runny yolk.
• Finely chop the chives and parsley and add to the sausage meat with the mustard and thoroughly combine.
• Divide sausage into 6 equal portions.
• Turn on the deep fat fryer and heat up to 150 C.
• On a lightly breadcrumb-sprinkled surface, pat out each portion to about .25cm (1/8 in) thickness.
• Wrap portions completely around each of the hard boiled eggs, pressing edges together to seal in a nice ball shape.
• Dip the sausage-coated eggs into the beaten egg, then carefully roll in breadcrumbs.
• Repeat the process of rolling in the beaten egg and breadcrumbs.
• When they are all ready, its time for frying.
• Carefully lower the eggs into the fryer and cook for about 4 minutes turning regularly.
• When lovely and golden brown, remove and place n kitchen paper to drain.
