Directions
1. Boil the eggs.
Add the eggs to a saucepan with cold water. Boil for 10 minutes and bring to a simmer.
2. Refresh the eggs.
Remove from the saucepot and refresh in cold water in a bowl. Then peel.
3. Mix the ingredients.
Mix the sausage meat with the thyme, parsley, and spring onion in a bowl, season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
4. Divide the sausage meat.
Divide the sausage meat mixture into four and flatten each out on a clean surface into ovals.
5. Roll the eggs in flour.
Roll the boiled egg in the seasoned plain flour.
6. Wrap the eggs.
Wrap the sausage meat around the egg, making sure the coating is smooth and completely covers the egg.
7. Coat the eggs.
Dip each meat-coated egg in the beaten egg, covering the entire surface area, then roll in the breadcrumbs to coat completely.
8. Cook.
Heat the oil in a deep heavy-bottomed pan to 180°C. Then, carefully place each Scotch egg into the hot oil and deep fry for 8 minutes, until golden and crisp, and the sausage meat is completely cooked.
9. Drain the scotch eggs.
Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Serve.
