Scotch Eggs

Literally just realised that I don't actually remember any cook times... I'll google a rough one

Ingredients (to make four):

5 eggs (chicken or duck)

8 sausages (just found out that the Americans do not have Bangers like we do. I don't know use ground pork with some rusk or smth. You heathens...God, who doesn't have offel and rusk inside an intestine for dinner with mash potato and gravy)

Some panko breadcrumbs, we measure with the heart so maybe like 75g

Chives (She has fresh but uses dried. I think she might be addicted to them. Before we took away her online supermarket shopping privileges, she ended up with 6 jars. Somehow. And one parsley where it was supposed to be chives but was subbed)

Salt (we measure with the heart)

Pepper (we measure with the heart)

Method for prep:

Bring water to a rolling boil in a large-ish pan and drop in 4 of your eggs. Boil for 8 minutes and then remove your eggs

Place your 4 eggs in ice water (I don't like cold, wet things)

Peel your eggs under the water and, then, remove them from the water

Take your sausages and remove their intestine skins. Mash all the de-skinned meat together.

Wrap the meat around the boiled eggs so that the entire egg is covered. Each egg should take roughly two sausages worth of meat. (For my Nan's recipe you want a much thicker sausage layer than normal)

On a tray, place your panko and sprinkle on some salt, pepper and chives and mix those together with clean hands.

Take a fork and whisk together your remaining egg into egg wash

Paint your meat-ed eggs with egg wash

Roll each of the egg-washed meat-ed eggs in the panko mixture until each are fully coated.

Line your oven tray with tinfoil

Now this is where the recipe gets a bit sketchy because my Nan always used the oven for me as a kid because I'm about as clumsy as a cat with a TBI and would probably burn down the house if I used the oven

Method for cooking (approximated using Google and various un-family recipes):

Bake in the oven at 180°c or (as the Americans seem so determined to use) 350°f for 25-30 minutes

Enjoy warm straight out the oven or refrrdgerate for eating up to 3 days following baking. Most people prefer them cool.

@itsfortheplants I said I'd do it

The Cadbury creme egg isn't vegan (which is good because if it was I'd stockpile them and devour them year-round), but I'm thinking about making a vegan fudge (dates, soaked cashews, cocoa powder, and maple syrup basically, toss in a food processor, refrigerate until it sets) and devouring the resulting mostly dairy free chocolate Scotch egg once Cadbury stuff goes on sale (should be soon, as Lent starts next week).
