Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs (for boiling and coating)
  • 1 pound (450 grams) sausage meat, preferably seasoned or plain pork
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 large eggs, beaten (for dredging)
  • 2 cups (150 grams) fresh breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
  • Vegetable oil (for deep frying – about 2 inches deep in a pot)

    • Instructions

  • Gently place 6 large eggs into a pot of cold water to cover by at least an inch. Bring to a boil, then simmer for exactly 6 minutes for soft but set yolks. Transfer eggs to an ice bath immediately and leave for 5-10 minutes.
  • In a bowl, mix the sausage meat with chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly with your hands until well combined. Avoid overworking or the meat becomes tough.
  • Carefully peel eggs, taking care not to break the whites. Pat dry with paper towels.
  • Divide sausage meat into 6 equal portions. Flatten one portion in your palm, place a boiled egg in the center, then mold the sausage evenly around the egg until completely covered. Make sure there are no gaps.
  • Set up a dredging station. Roll each wrapped egg in the flour, shake off excess, dip in beaten egg, then roll in breadcrumbs until fully coated. For a thicker crust, repeat the egg wash and breadcrumb step once more.
  • Fill a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer with vegetable oil about 2 inches deep. Heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy. Do not overcrowd the pot when frying.
  • Carefully lower 2-3 Scotch eggs into the hot oil. Fry for 5-7 minutes, turning gently until golden brown and cooked through. The sausage should be fully cooked (internal temp about 160°F) and the coating crisp.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Let them rest 5 minutes before serving.
