Bacon Scotch Eggs
Eggs wrapped in sausage and bacon along with breadcrumbs are deep fried for a delicious breakfast treat.
Ingredients
- 1 package/tube ground sausage meat
- 6 large eggs
- 6 strips precooked bacon
- 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
- additional egg for coating bread crumbs
Instructions
- In a small sauce, bring eggs to a boil and cook until they are cooked to medium. I use this egg timer* which has been super useful.
- Drain water and let eggs cool in a cold water bath. When eggs are cool enough to touch, carefully peel off shells.
- Take a large chunk of ground sausage meat and wrap around egg until the egg is fully covered in a thin layer of sausage.
- Take precooked bacon strips (I buy the ones available at Costco) and chop in food processor until they are chopped into very small pieces.
- Beat additional egg in small bowl. In a separate bowl, combine bacon and breadcrumbs. Take one egg, dip in egg, then dip in breadcrumb coating. Repeat again with egg and then breadcrumbs. I find that it helps to use your hand to scoop some breadcrumbs directly onto the eggs to get more crumbs to stick.
- Heat frying pan to medium-high heat and fill with enough oil deep enough for frying. Drop in eggs one at a time and fry until golden brown all around. Repeat with remaining eggs. Slice eggs in half to make sure sausage is fully cooked. If not, place back into fryer. The remaining inside sausage should cook much faster once sliced open without burning the exterior. Serve while warm.
