Ingredients
- 8 free range eggs
- 6 mixed good quality gourmet sausages (e.g. pork and fennel, lamb and mint, beef and tomato)
- 75 g (½ cup) plain flour
- 120 g (2 cups) panko breadcrumbs
- vegetable oil, for deep frying
To serve
- pickled onions
- large dill pickles
- Branston pickle
- a wedge of very good quality cheddar
- Japanese mayonnaise
- apple
Cooling time: 10 minutes.
Instructions
- Bring a saucepan of water to the boil. Prick a hole into the base of 6 of the eggs, then gently place them in the boiling water. Boil for 7 minutes, then plunge into iced water and stand until completely cool before peeling. Light beat the remaining two eggs.
- Squeeze the stuffing from the sausages and wrap 1 sausage worth of stuffing around each egg. Dip each egg into flour, then beaten egg, then into the panko breadcrumbs.
- Heat the oil to 180˚C and fry the Scotch eggs for about 5-6 minutes or until cooked through. Stand for a few minutes, then cut in half. Serve with the pickles, cheese, mayo and apple.
