Scotch Eggs Recipe with air fryer option

This recipe makes 8 eggs. Reduce all ingredients by 1/2 if you want to make 4 eggs

• 1 lb. of ground pork. I grind my own and ensure there is a mixture of fat in the meat. Otherwise try to get ground pork which has some fat in it. (I am not a fan of fat, but these taste better with at least 20% fat in the pork)

• 8 hard-boiled eggs boiled for 10 minutes when water starts to boil

• 1/2 medium onion very finely chopped

• 1 tablespoon each of finely chopped parsley, sage and if you like it thyme. I prefer fresh herbs but if you do not have them dried will work they just won’t taste as good (I do not like the flavor of thyme so I never use it)

• 1 tsp of red pepper flakes

• 1/2 tsp dry English mustard powder (Amazon)

• 1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper

• Seasoned Flour

• 1 egg beaten

• Dried plain Breadcrumbs or panko if you like extra crispy

• Vegetable oil for deep frying

Scotch Egg Recipe Method

• Mix the meat, herbs, mustard, pepper flakes salt and pepper together. Use your hands for this to ensure well mixed together

• Shell the eggs and roll them in the seasoned flour.

• Divide the meat into 8 equal portions, press the meat flat.

• Place the floured eggs in the center of the meat and gently, cover the egg with the meat mixture until it is completely covered closing any gaps.

• Dip the covered eggs in the raw egg and roll in the breadcrumbs until completely covered.

• Heat the oil up to about 2 inches in a deep frying pan up to a temperature of 350-375°F (180-190°C). (Using a thermometer the heat of the oil is very important to the finished product. If you don’t have a thermometer, check the temperature using a small cube of bread – if it turns golden brown within a minute or so , the oil is hot enough. Put the eggs into the oil and fry for 6-8 minutes, turning frequently until they have turned a golden brown color. Drain on parchment paper which has been crumpled up. They are delicious, warm or cold. Divide into halves or quarters for serving or if your house is like mine just serve them whole. I serve with Branston pickle, which I buy from Amazon.

Air Fryer Method for cooking Scotch Eggs:

Follow all directions up to the frying. Place eggs in the airfryer basket. I have a double ninja fryer so I can do all 8 at once. Set to Fry for 30 minutes @ 375F. Check after 25 minutes or so and if your breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy remove or leave for 5 more minutes. Remember fryers are different so be careful you do not over or undercook the pork.
