Baked Scotch Eggs

Yes, yes, YESSSSS!!!! Made exactly as written and would NOT change a thing. So delicious and the whole family L0VED these...definitely a keeper!

I used panko breadcrumbs, and by all means, use the Italian flavored, as they really do add flavor. I used Jimmy Dean® hot sausage, which had been sitting out on the counter for 5-10 minutes. I started to mold the sausage around the egg, and that wasn’t working too well, so I put the sausage into the freezer for 5 minutes. That chilled it enough to make the molding a much easier process. I mixed up a little mayo and Dijon for a dip which was very good with these eggs. When I got up this morning, I hard boiled my eggs in the Instant Pot®, so this was a very easy lunch with minimal cleanup. I’d recommend spraying the wire rack with some cooking spray to keep them from sticking. Thanks for sharing, this is a keeper.

These scotch eggs were very easy to make and they came out delicious. I used Jimmy Dean sausage regular flavor ( I like jimmy dean because of the flavor and the package has premeasured marks to cut through the package, rinse and dry the package before cutting through it and use a sharp knife ). I also used plain bread crumbs with a tablespoon of italian seasoning. If you want a little thicker bread you can roll the sausage covered hard boiled egg in bread crumbs then egg then breadcrumbs again. These took about 26 minutes in my oven. My entire family including my picky 10 year old LOVED them and asked me to make them again tomorrow. My husband liked his with mustard.

Having made scotch eggs before, I like this as they are baked. One thing I did was dip peeled eggs in flour before wrapping sausage around it. It helped the meat adhere better. I baked them about 5 minutes longer to make sure the sausage was cooked and they were browned.A nice accompaniment for a get together. These go good sliced up on a meat platter for something different and to give it a different look.

Tried this method instead of frying. Not sure if I’ll ever fry them again!

As a first born American to Scottish parents, these had to be good for them to get a 5 star rating.. Enough said, except, Make them!!
