Scotch egg comprises of boiled egg wrapped in bread crumbs and baked in an oven or fried.
Scotch eggs are popularly used for snacks or during picnics for special treats.
In the United Kingdom, scotch eggs are often purchased from the supermarkets, shops and motorway stations.
However, homemade scotch eggs are far better than the purchased versions as one has more control over the condiments used.
I always enjoy making scotch eggs when my friends are coming over to a park for relaxation and drinks.
Follow the simple steps outlined below to get the best tasty homemade scotch eggs.
Ingredients:
- 4 hard-boiled eggs

- In a clean bowl, add thyme, salt, sugar, sausage meat and pepper then mix properly.
- Mix flour with sugar and place onto a plain surface, then dredge each of the boiled eggs thoroughly in the flour (set aside).
- Then divide the sausage meat mixture into four.
- Use a wooden rolling pin to flatten each of the mixture into oval shapes.
- Place each of the dredged eggs onto a sausage meat oval.
- Wrap the sausage meat over each egg ensuring a smooth coating.
- Break and whisk a raw egg, then dip each coated egg into the beaten egg.
