Pub Food – Scotch Egg

Continuing on with the pub food theme, here is one of my absolute favorites – The Scotch Egg.  A hard boiled egg wrapped tight in herbed sausage, then breaded and deep fried.  Served with honey mustard and a beer – and I’m in heaven!

Scotch Eggs

What you need:

  • 4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and dry
  • 12 oz hot pork breakfast sausage
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped, fresh sage
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped, fresh parsley
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped, fresh chives
  • 1 clove crushed garlic
  • 1 ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • ¼ cup flour
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Oil for frying
  • ¼ cup Dijon Mustard
  • 1/8 cup honey

How to Do it:

Mix the fresh herbs, crushed garlic, and ½ teaspoon garlic salt with the sausage.  Let set for about 20 minutes for the flavors to meld.

Wrap each peeled egg with ¼ of the sausage mixture.

Heat the oil in a deep pan until it is about 350 degrees.

Roll each roll in the flour, then dip in the egg, making sure to cover all sides.
