Scotch Eggs with Mustard Sauce
- 8 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
- 1 pound bulk pork sausage
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
- Grapeseed or vegetable oil, for frying (about 4 cups)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup low-fat mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons stone-ground mustard
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Place 6 eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water.
- Add the vinegar and bring to a boil, then remove from the heat, cover and set aside 4 minutes.
- Meanwhile, fill a bowl with ice water.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the eggs and immediately plunge into the ice water to stop the cooking; let sit 2 minutes.
- Gently peel the eggs and set aside.
- Combine the sausage, herbs and one of the remaining eggs in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
- Mix on medium speed until combined, about 3 minutes.
- With moistened hands, mold the sausage mixture around the cooked eggs to completely cover.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat about 3 inches of grapeseed oil in a small high-sided saucepan over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 325 degrees F (or until a pinch of panko sizzles in the oil).
- Season the flour with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a shallow dish.
- Beat the remaining egg with the milk in another shallow dish.
- Put the panko in a third shallow dish.
- Roll the sausage-covered eggs in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess.
- Transfer to the egg-milk mixture and turn to completely coat.
- Let the excess egg drip off, then roll in the panko.
- Fry the eggs until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
- Remove to a baking sheet, transfer to the oven and bake until the sausage is cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Mix the mayonnaise, mustard and lemon juice in a small bowl.
- Serve with the Scotch eggs.
