Scotch Eggs (The Simplified Version)


Ingredient List:
4 hard boil eggs

Meat case:
300g chicken meat (preferably a slightly fatter cut - e.g. boneless leg)
4 chicken hotdog sausages
11/2 tbsp flour
1/2 tsp of Black Pepper
2 tbsp BBQ Sauce (better if you have Worcestershire Sauce)

1 cup breadcrumbs

1. Put eggs and tap water (preferably at least 3/4 submerged) in a saucepan and bring to boil. When water boils, turn off the flame and let the eggs cook a little longer (about 5 minutes).
2. While eggs are cooking, mince chicken, sausage and BBQ sauces into a meaty paste. Mix 1 tbsp flour, pepper, and any other herbs you would like to add. Add this mix to the meaty paste and integrate well. Set aside.
3. Drain the water from the eggs and pour in cold water to cool. Peel eggs and set aside.
4. Beat one egg in a separate bowl. On a flat tray, pour out the breadcrumbs. Shake evenly.
5. Roll an egg in remaining flour, dusting off excess. Wrap the minced meat paste around the egg. Repeat for all eggs and set aside.
6. Dip the meat-encased eggs into beaten egg, and roll on tray of breadcrumbs. Shake off excess.
7. Deep fry till golden brown!

Air-Fryer Alternative:
If you own the Philips airfryer and don't mind a little mess in exchange for a healthier version, you can use that. Preheat to 180 and fry for 20 - 25 minutes. Make sure you turn the eggs every 6-8 minutes.

Indulgent Alternative:
Use minced pork instead of chicken and sausage mix.
