Baked Scotch Egg Recipe

For a classic picnic treat, give my oven baked scotch egg recipe a try. It’s so much healthier than deep frying and they only take 35 minutes to cook.

1. Cook 5 of the 6 eggs in boiling water for 6 minutes. Cool then peel off the shells.
2. Mix freshly chopped parsley into the sausage meat.
3. Split the sausage meat into 5. For each scotch egg, spread the sausage meat in the middle of a piece of cling film.
4. Place the egg on top. Use the cling film to wrap the sausage meat around the egg. Do this for all 5 eggs.
5. Once covered in meat, coat each egg in the flour, then remaining whisked egg, then breadcrumbs.
6. Bake on 180c/350f for 30 minutes. When golden and the sausage meat is cooked, leave to cool and enjoy.

TIP! These scotch eggs can be prepared in advance and left to chill in the fridge prior to baking.
