Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken, turkey or pork Italian sausage
- 4-5 large eggs, hard boiled (not too large)
- flour (just a little to coat the eggs)
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups fine dry breadcrumbs (i used Panko). you don't need to use the whole 2 cups!!
Preparation
Step 1
1. remove meat from casing. one large sausage should cover 1 egg (a little less than 1/4 lb). use your judgement. i made 5 scotch eggs from a 1lb package of Jenny O Turkey Sausage for the first batch.
2. roll the eggs in flour. (this helps the meat stick to the egg)
3. wrap each egg evenly in a portion of meat, being sure they are covered completely. roll it around in your hands a bit to ensure even sausage coating.
4. beat the remaining egg in a small bowl
5. dip each egg/sausage ball in the beaten egg then coat thoroughly in breadcrumbs.
6. optional...chill for one hour...or don't...i didn't.
7. bake until golden brown on a cookie sheet (line with tin foil for easy clean up) at 375°F; about 30 minutes. mine took about 35 minutes.
these keep really well in the fridge for a few days. just warm in the microwave.
