Ingredients

  • 6 hard boiled eggs or soft-boiled
  • 8 oz black pudding
  • 4 oz sausage meat (see second recipe card below and notes for recipe)
  • ½ cup flour
  • 1 egg beaten with a pinch of salt and pepper
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs as needed with a pinch of salt and pepper
  • olive oil as needed for frying

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Remove the casing from the black pudding and crumble into a medium sized bowl. Add the sausage meat.
  2. Using your hands (preferably), mix the sausage into the black pudding so that it's evenly incorporated. Divide the meat mixture into 6 even portions.
  3. Start with one portion and flatten it into your hand to form a covering for the egg. Work the black pudding mixture around the egg so that it is completely covered. Place on a plate, and repeat with the other five eggs and portions of black pudding/sausage mixture.
  4. Next, set up a station of three separate bowls of flour, beaten egg and breadcrumbs. Dip each prepared egg in flour. Then coat in the beaten egg mixture. Finally, dip in breadcrumbs. Place on a plate  and repeat with the other five eggs, then keep refrigerated if not frying immediately. (Soft-boiled eggs should be fried right away.)
  5. Heat the oil to 350℉ (175℃), then begin deep-frying the black pudding Scotch eggs, being careful not to drop them into the oil (they'll be heavy). Fry for about 4 to 5 minutes or until golden brown. Drain, and place on a paper-towel-lined plate.
  6. Serve as desired, but cutting them in half makes them easier to enjoy.

Notes

  • TIP: use smaller eggs for best results. If you use XL eggs, you won't have enough meat mixture to wrap around the eggs and they will be enormous when finished.
  • I put olive oil in a smaller pot so I don't use too much to deep fry, but it must be deep enough not to spill over.
