Scotch Eggs have been on my list of recipes to make for longer than I care to admit. They are just fun! Plus I know that John is going to love them.

    I am starting to see Scotch Eggs pop up on restaurant menus while we are traveling. They seem to be becoming a bit more mainstream and served around the country. Have you seen them in your local restaurants?

    If you want to get a bit fancier than a regular Scotch Egg you can make a Bacon Wrapped Scotch Egg to try something a bit different. These would make a great party appetizer. You can serve them whole and see who is willing to cut into one or serve them sliced into sections.

    Traditional Scotch Egg recipe with eggs and sausage that is battered in panko crumbs and fried. If you are worried about the oil from frying you can cook these in the air fryer. I haven't had a chance to make them in the air fryer yet but I bet they would be delicious.

    What to serve with Scotch Eggs?

    We served Scotch Eggs with a salad mix and potatoes on the side. Scotch Eggs are used a lot as picnic food so you could serve them with a meat and cheese platter, fruit plate, and veggies. Don't forget to pair them with a great beer if you drink alcohol.

     

    Ingredients needed to make Scotch Eggs

    • Ground pork sausage
    • Hard-boiled eggs
    • Flour
    • Panko bread crumbs
    • Eggs
    • Garlic powder
    • Pepper
    • Salt
    • Vegetable oil for frying

    Mustard Sauce

    • Spicy brown mustard
    • Mayonnaise
    • Sour cream
    • Hot sauce
    • Milk
    • Salt and pepper to taste

    Recipe Tips

    Panko burns quickly, so do not make your oil too hot!

    Many people eat these with soft or medium-boiled eggs.

    These go pretty quick, so I fried two at a time and prepped the other two while they cooked.
