bokbok Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I am so annoyed. I wasted eggs - I was trying to make scotch eggs. I know you're supposed to deep fry them but hubby said that when he made them at school they put them in the oven. I thought I would do this so that they wouldn't be so fattening but the sausage meat just broke and started sliding away from the eggs - it looks as if I threw them at the wall before I baked them I even made sure I got a good brand of sausages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clucky1 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 What a pain. - I must admit I have never tried it myself (always seemed like alot of hard work) I have read that they are deep fried. I remember that we 'lost' the first 3 eggs that my chooks laid We were devistated -as my daughters had wanted to take photo's of the eggs ! The first two eggs got trampelled on by the other chickens - when they laid them in their pen The third egg (I got so eggs-cited) I dropped it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Oh dear! I dare say that Gordon Ramsay has the odd culinary disaster though. I always feel guilty if I waste an egg......I dropped one the other day, and felt as if I had spurned a gift from one of my girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I make oven baked Scotch Eggs nearly every week and they often split but they're still perfectly edible and far better for you than deep fried ones. Keep trying and don't let this put you off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokbok Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 Thanks for all your messages guys - you've cheered me up I think I will still serve them for tmrw lunch after all - I will say "no I didn't try juggling with them they're meant to look like that - it's the home-made look" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfamily Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 and they'll taste just as lovely as perfectly formed ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 They will taste wonderful - I'm sure the family will get used to the rustic look I 'lost' an egg today - it was really thin shelled and I put my fingers straight through it - I had to throw it on to the lawn for Jazz!
