Ingredients

  • 8 free range eggs
  • 6 mixed good quality gourmet sausages (e.g. pork and fennel, lamb and mint, beef and tomato)
  • 75 g (½ cup) plain flour
  • 120 g (2 cups) panko breadcrumbs
  • vegetable oil, for deep frying
To serve
  • pickled onions
  • large dill pickles
  • Branston pickle
  • a wedge of very good quality cheddar
  • Japanese mayonnaise
  • apple
Cooling time: 10 minutes.

Instructions

  1. Bring a saucepan of water to the boil. Prick a hole into the base of 6 of the eggs, then gently place them in the boiling water. Boil for 7 minutes, then plunge into iced water and stand until completely cool before peeling. Light beat the remaining two eggs.
  2. Squeeze the stuffing from the sausages and wrap 1 sausage worth of stuffing around each egg. Dip each egg into flour, then beaten egg, then into the panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Heat the oil to 180˚C and fry the Scotch eggs for about 5-6 minutes or until cooked through. Stand for a few minutes, then cut in half. Serve with the pickles, cheese, mayo and apple.
