More About This Recipe

You don’t have to go to the pub to indulge in this classic snack beloved in the United Kingdom and served in British-style bars and eateries around the world. Scotch eggs are easy to make at home and make a great appetizer or snack, especially on a picnic. Like many a storied recipe, the history of this one is unclear, but what is clear is that certain ingredients are necessary to make a proper Scotch egg. Typically, these recipes include a hard-boiled egg encased in sausage and bread crumbs and deep-fat fried or baked. With this recipe, you don’t have to deep-fat fry, instead simply bake your Scotch eggs on an ungreased cookie sheet. So why not give it a whirl? We think one of these would go down fine with a crisp ale or hard cider. And if they're really not for you, Betty’s got plenty more impressive appetizer recipes.

To make perfect hard-cooked eggs that peel easily, place eggs in a single layer in a small saucepan, cover with cold water at least 1 inch above eggs. Bring to a boil, cover, and immediately remove from heat. Let stand covered for 15 minutes. Drain and cool in an ice water bath; peel.
Use bulk Italian sausage and Italian-seasoned panko bread crumbs to give these oven-baked Scotch eggs a southern European twist.
