These are awesome!

Take a pound of sausage and wrap it around 6 or so boiled eggs. If you make the sausage "crust" thinner, you could probably get 10 eggs wrapped up. I rubbed the sausage with a little water on my finger so smooth it out around the egg. Then you fry it in a pan. Eat plain or with a little bit of mustard. Soooooo good.

Thanks for posting. I just read about them in your journal and I was like, "I wonder how you make those..." Now I know! Cool

Can you bake them as well?

Yeah, I think i've seen a recipe for baking them. As I was frying them i though how much easier it would be to bake, and I think they will hold their shape better too.

OMG! Dang, these are good!!!! Wow

I baked mine in the oven at 400 degrees fahrenheit for 20 minutes... perfect! Wow, yum!

I'm so ignorant!! Roll Eyes

Would that be loose sausage, like Jimmy Dean in that tube thingie?

It sounds great...We can't wait to try them!

Thanks,
Denise

No scotch? Oh, well, I don't drink that stuff anyway. I gotta try this. Thanks.

Can I assume the hard boiled eggs are peeled first? ha ha

We had Scotch Eggs at a Brit pub a few years ago and loved them. Never thought about making them at home. Thanks for the inspiration!

This would be way too tedious to do on a regular basis, but a cute appetizer for company would be to make this recipe using quail eggs. Happy

I was thinking of cutting the eggs in half and trying it that way. I don't know if it would work or not but would like more meat, less eggs.

Thanks JBird for this recipe!!
DH made a batch and they are great!! Two in the morning or lunch, or just for a snack. He wants to experiment with other sausages now!! Cajun and italian just for starters.

Thanks again and keep them recipies comin'!!

I'm glad these are such a hit! I need to go get some more ground pork. Jimmy Dean is tasty, but my husband found a good recipe and we just add spice to ground pork. Tastey.

I guess you could leave the shell on if you wanted some crunch in there LOL.

Heather, yeah I bet cutting the eggs in half would work fine. You know i had two eggs that the whites fell apart when I peeled them, so i just wrapped the yolk in sausage...that was good too. I think I may do the cut in half thing tomorrow when I make a big batch for our weekend out of town.

Quail eggs hehehe too cool.

What spice?

Jaybird · Meat Devil Joined: 20 May 2006 Posts: 1292

To 1 lb of ground pork, add:
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1/2 tsp rubbed sage
1/8 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg (freshly ground is awesome!)
1/4 tsp thyme
1/4 tsp paprika

First mix the above spices with 2 oz of water, then add to pork and mix in.
YUM!

These tasted good when done, but were a pain to make. They fell apart all over the pan as they cooked. ;)

i used to make for my kids when they where younger a version of scotch eggs where i would mash the boiled egg up with mayo just enough mayo to bind it with bit of melted butter and pepper. Roll into small balls and chill then cover in sausage meat (ground pork) then cook in the oven easyer then turning in the pan .
they used to eat them with tom sauce.
Readign this tread reminded me i might make some more i have found a local old fasioned butcher that makes his own sausages and can make rusk free ones. Bought his last 1lb of them today waiting for them to defrost cause i have missed sausages now i can have them Smile

I made one scotch egg just to test it out and it was so good! I made the "breakfast meatballs" from the red meat recipe section and I had a little meat left over that wouldn't fit onto my baking sheet, so I wrapped it around a hard boiled egg. I cooked it for 25 min at 400 in my toaster oven and it was perfect. I think I'm gonna have to start making batches of this stuff. Thumbs Up

(I love these little orc dudes, btw! hehe)

This is the third reference to scotch eggs that I've read/heard about in 2 days. I think the planet is trying to tell me something. I adore Scotch eggs. They used to be a childhood staple (the breaded, deep-fat-fried kind) around my house, so I have no idea why I haven't experimented with the unbreaded kind!

I've found that scotch eggs make a very nice portable snack. Smile

These were, yet again, a huge hit. They were the only thing on the table that completely disappeared. Needless to say, there was plenty of three bean salad left at the end of the night.
