Ingredients
- 4 cups oil for frying or as needed
- 8 large boiled eggs
- 2- lbs Jimmy Dean Hot sausage
- 1 cup all-purpose flour or as needed
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups panko bread crumbs or as needed
Instructions
- Divide sausage into 8 balls
- Lay a piece of plastic wrap on a flat work surface. Place 1 sausage ball onto the center of the plastic wrap, fold the plastic over sausage, and flatten into an 1/8-inch-thick oval. Pull the plastic back and place 1 egg onto the center of flattened sausage. Pick up plastic wrap, moisten fingertips, and press sausage around egg to cover completely, sealing well. Repeat with remaining sausage balls and eggs.
- Place flour into a shallow bowl. Beat 3 eggs in a second shallow bowl. Pour bread crumbs into a third bowl.
- Dredge sausage-wrapped eggs in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then press in bread crumbs to coat. Gently toss between your hands to remove excess bread crumbs, then place breaded eggs on a plate.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Cook in batches in the preheated oil until golden, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer Scotch eggs to a wire rack to cool, about 5 minutes
- I like to serve with several different mustards

Whether served hot or cold, Scotch eggs are a crowd-pleasing dish that brings together the goodness of eggs and the indulgence of crispy sausage coating.
Invented in 1738 in Fortnum and Mason. I found a link with more information on the subject.
