Scotch Eggs

4.3
3 ratings
Scotch Eggs are a classic dish from the British Isles, and is commonly associated with Scotland. A hard boiled egg is encased in a mixture of beef, pork and herbs, then crumbed and deep fried until golden and crispy. Served hot or cold, these little babies are great as a snack, a meal, by themselves or sliced up and served on sandwiches (my favourite!) - give it a go!
