BAKED SCOTCH EGG

Steps:

• First, bring a pan of water to a rolling boil, gently lower 4 of the eggs into the water and boil for 4 - 4.5 minutes for a runny yolk.and prepare a bowl of ice water.
• Once the eggs are finished plunge them straight into the ice water and leave them for 10 minutes to stop cooking. This will also make it easier for the shells to come off.
• Whilst the eggs are cooking off. Prepare the sausage meat by dividing into 4 equal parts and then flattening out each part on some clingfilm.
• Now it's time to de-shell those eggs. Lightly tap the outside of the egg with a metal spoon and then peel the shell off. I find this easy to do under the cold water then it just slips right off.
• Once you have de-shelled all your eggs place each egg on a piece of sausage meat. Carefully wrap the meat around the ahh being careful not to pop the egg.
• Once each egg is fully wrapped up in sausage meat, wrap it in the clingfilm and make into a nice ball shape and then chill for 2 hours to firm up the meat.
• Pre-heat the oven to 200.c fan/ 400F / gas mark 6
• Whilst the oven is heating set up your flour in one bowl with the salt and pepper, the remaining egg lightly beaten in another and then the bread crumbs in a 3rd bowl.
• Coat each sausage meat ball in the flour get it all covered evenly and lightly. Then this is where it gets messy... into the egg and then into the breadcrumbs. Repeat this for each of the balls ensuring your got even coverage.once fully coated place on an oven tray with non stick baking sheet.
• Place the tray in the oven for approximately 20/25 minutes until crispy coating. Enjoy them warm straight from the oven or allow them to cook to take on a picknic

BAKED SCOTCH QUAIL EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F, gas mark 6).
• Boil water using a kettle or a pan.
• Carefully put the quail's eggs into a small pan, adding the vinegar. Once the water boils, pour in the boiling water straight away and cook for 2 minutes. Don't do it longer, they will go rubbery!
• Move the pan to the sink and run cold water over the eggs for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Tap, roll and very gently peel the shells off them. Sometimes it helps if you do this under cold water. The first couple are hard to do but you'll get the hang of it.
• Place the pork in a bowl with spices and mix together. Divide the meat into 12 equal portions.
• Take a piece of the pork mixture and flatten it in the palm of your hand.
• Place one of the quail eggs in the centre and stretch the pork mixture around to cover the egg completely, then roll between your hands to make an even-shaped ball. Repeat with the remaining eggs and pork mixture to make 12 balls.
• Place the flour, beaten egg and cornflakes/breadcrumbs in 3 separate shallow bowls.
• Dip each Scotch egg first in the flour to lightly coat, then in the beaten egg, and finally in the cornflakes/breadcrumbs. Repeat with the remaining eggs and place on a plate until ready to cook.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden, making sure the pork mixture is cooked all the way through.
• Can be served hot or cold, goes well with mustard but I think they are tasty enough to skip it.

SCOTCH EGGS

Steps:

• Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Place 6 eggs in a saucepan large enough to accommodate them in a single layer. Fill with cold water, covering eggs by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from heat. Cover; let stand 11 minutes. Place eggs in ice-water bath; let cool 2 minutes. Gently press eggs against a hard surface to crack shells, then peel under cold running water.
• Put pork, 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, 1 raw egg, thyme, allspice, salt, and pepper into a medium bowl. Using your hands, mix until combined. Using damp hands, break off a 2-inch piece (about 3 ounces) of meat mixture, and flatten into a patty. Place 1 peeled hard-boiled egg in center of patty, and work meat mixture up sides until egg is completely enclosed. Repeat with remaining meat mixture and eggs.
• Dust each wrapped egg with flour. Whisk together remaining raw egg and the milk in a shallow bowl. Place remaining cup breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl. Roll eggs in milk mixture and then in breadcrumbs to coat.
• Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan until it registers 360 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. Working in 2 batches, fry eggs until meat mixture is golden and cooked through, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels; let drain. Serve warm or at room temperature.
