Instructions
- Place the 4 large eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 4-5 minutes for soft-boiled or 7-8 minutes for hard-boiled. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool. Once cool, peel the eggs and set them aside.
- In a medium bowl, season the flour with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with the seasoned flour, one with the beaten eggs, and one with the breadcrumbs.
- Divide the breakfast sausage into 4 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a thin patty. Place a peeled egg in the center of each patty and wrap the sausage around the egg, pressing to seal completely.
- Roll each sausage-wrapped egg in the seasoned flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Ensure each egg is fully covered.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep saucepan or skillet to 350°F (175°C). Carefully lower each Scotch egg into the hot oil and fry for about 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until the sausage is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the Scotch eggs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use cold eggs to make peeling easier after boiling.
- Season the flour with salt, pepper, and paprika for extra flavor.
- Ensure the sausage is evenly wrapped around the egg to prevent splitting during cooking.
- For a healthier option, air fry or bake the Scotch Eggs instead of frying.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
