by Shaheen Ali

A Scotch Egg consist of a shelled hard boiled egg wrapped in a sausage meat mixture. coated in bread crumbs and deep fried. Scotch eggs are commonly eaten cold, particularly with pickles or salads. .


Ever since i came across this recipe in one of my blogger friend Nidhi S Raj, i have been wanting to make this. I studied the recipe from http://soulandspicebox.com/scotch-eggs/ and was waiting for the winters to try my hands on these Egg headed beauties. It can be made by using either goat/lamb mince or chicken mince. I used chicken as it is anytime available in my deep freezer.
