Scotch Eggs

Who can tell me about Scotch Eggs? a good recipe? Are they worth the effort? do you do them with soft or hard yolks. Thanks in advance?

 

A love a good scotch egg, but never tried making one!
Seems like it could be an interesting thing to make so I am looking forward to the replies.

 

Dang Warren, I figured you'd be my go to guy on this!

 

Well I know how to buy them in packs of 2 or 4
I really should try to make them, would like to try and do one with a softer yoke, had one in a restaurant a few years ago and it was amazing!

 

Are they a fast food type of thing and not commonly made at home?

 

Never had them, but this recipe from Jamie Oliver looks pretty good. http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/...-eggs-with-lovely-scottish-cheese-and-pickle/

I'd think the outcome would depend a lot on the quality of the sausage. And they sound like something that I could eat the entire batch without blinking.

 

Oh no something else I need to try.

Reminded me of BBQ armadillo eggs.

 

Definitely prefer them with soft yolks, but they are fun either way. My kids like them with hard yolks and coated with panko. We make them with smaller eggs.

 

The ones I had in the restaurant were soft slightly runny quail eggs and they had some black pudding in the sausage meat as well!:like:like

 

So jealous, that sounds great. I worked in an Irish joint early on and they were not that great. But I guess you can put a bunch of charm into a place but if not a chef, well.... they boiled quail eggs then tons of sausage and tossed into 'real' beer batter. But they'd pierce them because they took too long and the batter would overcook. One day...
