Scotch Eggs Tips <\/h2>

How can you reheat Scotch eggs in the microwave? <\/h3>If you\u2019d like to reheat Scotch eggs in the microwave, make sure you cut each egg in half or in quarters. A whole scotch egg will likely burst during microwaving. To prevent the cut egg from drying out, loosely wrap it in a damp paper towel while heating. \r\n\r\n

What are some variations of this Scotch egg recipe? <\/h3>If you like your yolks a bit softer, you can use soft-boiled eggs to make Scotch eggs instead. Check out our handy guide for different ways to boil eggs<\/a>. You\u2019ll have to use a bit of a lighter touch when wrapping it in the sausage to avoid breaking the white, but the result will be a just-set yolk with a velvety texture. You can also change up the flavors\u2014try an Italian version with Italian sausage and seasoned breadcrumbs. Or try fresh chorizo for a spicy, Tex-Mex version! \r\n\r\n

How do you store Scotch eggs? <\/h3>Store your Scotch eggs in the refrigerator. Wrap cooled eggs individually and place them in an airtight container\u2014they\u2019ll last 4-7 days in the fridge. \r\n\r\n

What can you pair with this Scotch egg recipe? <\/h3>Because Scotch eggs are one of our favorite iconic British dishes<\/a>, think classic British sides: french fries (or chips, as they call them in Britain), mashed potatoes or baked beans. \r\n\r\nIt\u2019s traditional to serve Scotch eggs with a dipping sauce\u2014in Britain, it\u2019s most often a spicy mustard-based sauce. But you can pair them with your own preferred sauce as well. Feel free to experiment with different sauces<\/a> to complement the flavors of your Scotch eggs.

I use medium eggs, form a meat patty on your hand, place egg on meat patty, wrap around the hard boiled egg, covering completely with meat, dip in egg & roll in the crumbs. Bake on my broiler pan & they are wonderful. Always make 1 doz. or more as they go fast! Taught a cooking class to grade school children & they loved them & it was easy for them to make. Always get compliments when I take or serve them for a brunch.<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"06\/25\/2011 00:40","GUID":"49b78e6d7fad415ba72132071d5a894f","MemberId":3862805,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"charlenepaugustyn","SubmittedDate":"06\/25\/2011 00:40"},{"Comment":"

These are called scotch eggs and are usually deep fried, but doing them in the oven would be so much healthier. Thanks for the directions. Oh and yes I agree with the others.....small or smallest in eggs are the best to use.<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"","GUID":"C990FEF5EFD8F3D72B3B1D91C7E5E5A0","MemberId":56129,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"CharlesR_female","SubmittedDate":"06\/17\/2009 06:49"},{"Comment":"

 I've been using peewee eggs for scotch eggs, AND devilled eggs. They're just the perfect size, but not easy to find. Ask your egg seller at the local farmers market.<\/p>

I do not use salt and pepper. I also use medium size eggs as they are easier to wrap the sausage around rather than large eggs. I put the crushed cornflakes on wax paper and then just roll the egg around. I found that easier than using a separate bowl.<\/p>","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"","GUID":"bf309994d56e4e13b98ef2c1e71bf09a","MemberId":1025171,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"Wmkalen@aol.com","SubmittedDate":"02\/26\/2008 08:53"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":17,"DateRated":"04\/17\/2006 14:41","GUID":"2747fd95488045e7b72c997ab285bfc9","MemberId":1239032,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"barnkitty","SubmittedDate":"04\/17\/2006 14:41"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":18,"DateRated":"02\/19\/2006 17:54","GUID":"3513d23c08404b2da6f26eaf37c86a8d","MemberId":1019897,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Sara","SubmittedDate":"02\/19\/2006 17:54"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":19,"DateRated":"02\/18\/2006 10:45","GUID":"8235C30E783536548D3FA853FF33F5CB","MemberId":114246,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Milwey","SubmittedDate":"02\/18\/2006 10:45"}]},"breadcrumb":[],"meta_data":{"enhanced_fields":{"enhanced_recipe_title":"Scotch Eggs"}},"analytics":[],"yoast_head":"\nScotch Eggs Recipe: How to Make It<\/title>\n\n\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/scotch-eggs\/\" \/>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\n\n\n\n\t\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO Premium plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Scotch Eggs Recipe: How to Make It","description":"A classic Scotch eggs recipe gets an extra crispy coating using cornflakes and snappy sausage.
