Ingredients
- 6 hard boiled eggs , carefully peeled
- 8 ounces bulk sausage meat
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 eggs , lightly beaten
- 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese , finely grated
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, blend the sausage meat, Dijon mustard, salt and black pepper.
- Place the flour, seasoned bread crumbs with Parmesan cheese and lightly beaten eggs in 3 separate bowls or shallow pie plates for dredging.
- Divide sausage mixture into 6 equal balls, flattening with your palm. Roll each egg in flour and then wrap with flattening sausage meat. Roll in flour again, then egg and lastly seasoned bread crumbs with Parmesan cheese. Repeat with each egg.
- Using a high sided frying pan, fill with 2 inches of vegetable oil, heating to 300°F . Be careful to use a thermometer. Oil that is too hot will burn the exterior before the interior is cooked.
- Gently lower half of your Scotch Eggs into the hot oil, rolling to evenly brown all sides. Fry for approximately 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined baking sheet and place in the oven. Repeat with the next batch of eggs.
- You can place into a warm oven (200 degrees-ish) to keep warm until ready to serve.
