Scotch Eggs with Mustard Sauce

April 23, 2016

Prep Time : 20 minutes
Cook Time : aprox 10-30 minutes depending on how you cook them.  
Yield : 6 servings

 

Ingredients:

Mustard Sauce:

1 egg
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup yellow mustard
2 tablespoons white sugar

 

Eggs:

6 eggs
2 quarts oil for deep frying
12 ounces ground pork sausage
1 tablespoon dried parsley, crushed
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
salt and pepper to taste
1 egg, beaten
4 ounces dry bread crumbs

 

Directions:

Mustard Sauce:

Crack 1 egg into a small saucepan.

With the heat on low, stir in mayonnaise, mustard and sugar.

When it just starts to boil, it's done.

Remove and let sit until cool, then chill for at least 10 minutes.

 

Eggs:

Place 6 whole eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water.

Bring water to a boil and cook eggs for 10 to 12 minutes.

Remove from hot water, cool, peel.

Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Or bake at 325 for 30 minutes

Put the sausage into a bowl with the finely parsley, lemon rind, nutmeg, marjoram, salt and pepper.

Work all the ingredients well into the sausage with your hands.

Make a coating for each hand boiled egg out of the sausage, working it round the eggs with wet hands to form an even layer.

Roll the covered eggs in beaten egg, and then in dried breadcrumbs.

Deep Fry: Carefully slide in 3 eggs and fry for 4 to 5 minutes, until they turn deep golden brown. Turn them as they cook so that they brown evenly.

Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towel, and repeat with the remaining 3 eggs.

Oven:  Cover a baking sheet in aluminum foil and spray with a no-stick cooking spray.

Place each egg on the sheet and bake, uncovered for 30 minutes. Turn after 15 minutes. 

 

Serve eggs with mustard sauce.

My notes:  

This is a very calorie heavy food; however, it is AMAZING!  We made these for a Scottish gathering we had and we made a total of 18 eggs (36 halves) and they flew off the plate.  Next time I will have to make 36 eggs I think...at least!​
