Ingredients
- Scotch eggs
- Oil for frying
- Breadcrumbs
- Sausage meat
- Boiled eggs
- Mustard or dipping sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully lower the breaded Scotch eggs into the hot oil, a few at a time, to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry the eggs for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Once done, use a slotted spoon to remove the Scotch eggs from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Notes
- Feel free to experiment with different seasonings in the sausage mixture to suit your taste.
- These Scotch eggs can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a healthier option, you can bake the Scotch eggs in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 25-30 minutes instead of frying.
