Scotch Eggs

Scotch eggs originated in the United Kingdom and spread to other parts of the world. They are a delicious combination of a soft or hard boiled egg covered in sausage and dredged in flour, egg, and bread crumbs which makes a complete breakfast. I have them at least once a month. 

The recipe does have a few alterations. To begin with, the egg can be soft or hard boiled depending on your preference. I prefer them soft, but it is entirely up to you.

We use mild Italian sausage in the recipe, but that too, is a matter of preference. I have also used my homemade burger recipe which turns out delicious. Use the sausage or meat of your choice.

We use Panko bread crumbs as they are larger, but any brand of crumbs can be used.

In this recipe, I find that the sausage provides enough seasoning but the flour or bread crumbs can have additional seasoning, as well.
