Scotch Eggs
- 8 eggs
- 1 pound sausage
- 1/2 bunch each of parsley, sage and thyme, finely chopped
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons Coleman's mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestshire sauce
- 1-2 tablespoons Fresh lemon
- Oil for frying
- Soft boil your 8 eggs. Remove them from the fridge and let come to room temperature. Bring a pot of water to a simmer, then gently lower the eggs into the water. Cook for 6 minutes then remove the eggs and cool them (either in an ice bath or under cold running water). Peel and chill the eggs.
- Mix the sausage and finely chopped herbs. Take the palm of your hand and place the egg in it. If you are lucky to have Seinfeld's "man hands" (as I do), then you will see how much sausage to flatten out on your palm.
- Wrap sausage around the egg. Make sure that that the egg is fully covered in sausage. Repeat with the other eggs. Dip in egg/milk mixture and roll in panko breadcrumbs. (Note: You do not want a thick wrapping of sausage! If the sausage is too thick, you'll overcook your eggs by the time you get the sausage done.)
- Let eggs sit and rest for a few minutes while you preheat your oil. You can either deep fry or pan fry these. If you need to make a large batch of these, lightly fry and then keep warm in a 250u0b0F oven until ready to serve.
- While your oil is heating, make the side condiment: mix together mayo, mustard, white balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon and cayenne.
- Deep fry at 350u0b0F for 3-5 minutes, until the outsides are a deep brown and the sausage is cooked through. Drain each egg on a paper towel-lined plate. To serve, you can either cut them into quarters/wedges or, if serving on toast, slice them. You can add another sprinkling of cayenne on top of the mustard sauce if you desire.
