Scotch eggs are a delightful British classic that combines hard-boiled eggs wrapped in a savory layer of seasoned ground beef, coated in breadcrumbs, and then baked or fried to perfection. This recipe offers a tasty and nourishing snack or appetizer that can be enjoyed by everyone. Whether for a picnic, party, or simply as a delicious treat, these Scotch eggs are sure to impress.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, minced garlic, pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
3. Coat the Eggs:
1. Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions.
2. Flatten each portion of meat into a patty with your hands.
3. Place a peeled egg in the center of each meat patty and carefully shape the meat around the egg, ensuring it is fully covered.
1. Roll each meat-covered egg in whole-grain wheat flour, ensuring an even coating.
2. Dip each floured meat-coated egg in bread crumbs, pressing lightly to adhere the crumbs to the surface.
1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Place the bread crumb-coated eggs in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the meat is thoroughly cooked and the exterior is golden brown and crispy.
6. Prepare the Dipping Sauce:
1. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise salad dressing, sour cream, and mustard until well combined.
7. Serve:
1. Allow the Scotch eggs to cool slightly before slicing them in half.
2. Serve the Scotch eggs warm with the prepared dipping sauce on the side.
Tips:
- Ensure the eggs are hard-boiled but not overcooked to maintain a firm yet tender yolk.
- Wet your hands slightly when wrapping the ground beef around the eggs to prevent sticking.
- For a crispier texture, consider panko breadcrumbs as an alternative to regular breadcrumbs.
- If baking instead of frying, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the Scotch eggs for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Allow the Scotch eggs to cool for a few minutes after cooking before slicing to maintain their shape.
- Feel free to experiment with different seasonings or sauces in the ground beef mixture to suit your taste preferences.
With this recipe, you can easily prepare delectable Scotch eggs that are crispy on the outside and succulent on the inside. Whether you choose to enjoy them hot or cold, they make a fantastic addition to any meal or social gathering. Don’t forget to serve them with the accompanying mustard dip for an extra burst of flavor.
