Cinnamon Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Did someone have a good Scotch Eggs recipe - an oven baked version? I am sure I have seen one around,but can't find it anywhere....... I think the Bantam eggs,which we have heaps of at the moment,would make perfect mini Scotch Eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I think Kate does scotch eggs. Are they postable Cinnamon?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Easy peasy, Sarah. Serves 4 Hard boil 4 eggs and remove shells. Get some sausagemeat or skin some sausages and divide the meat up into 4 portions and flatten each portion out so that you can wrap each egg up in meat. Roll in breadcrumbs and bake in a preheated oven at 200C or GM5 for 30 minutes. Delicious! The sausagemeat shell sometimes cracks a bit but it doesn't spoil the taste. Bantam eggs will probably make at least 8. Yum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Oh I wish I had read this earlier in the week I made some scotch eggs from an old recipe book and it said to fry them in hot oil, which I did, but the breadcrumbs started to blacken quite quickly so I took them out after say 5 minutes. I ate half of one and it tasted fine, but I started to feel really ill later that day and spent Wednesday in bed with food poisining I suppose I had eaten raw sausagemeat I didn't realise you could bake them in the oven, I thought something weird would happen to the egg Will try the baked version one day when I have forgotten how ill I felt Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strepsy Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 (edited) I don't suppose anyone has a veggie version for scotch eggs? DD has to make them in school when she goes back and doesn't want to use sausage meat. Edited March 21, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Perhaps you could squeeze the contents out of a Quorn sausage or similarand use that instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Have you ever tried to squeeze a Quorn sausage Egluntine?! Vegy products are not very squeezable but i suppose Linda McCartney ones might be a little better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Have you ever tried to squeeze a Quorn sausage Egluntine?! I don't go near Quorn to be honest!! It makes me very ill. It was just a little suggestionette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I don't go near Quorn to be honest!! It makes me very ill. What about 'Cauldren' veggie sausages, or are they the dreaded Quorn too? Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Hmmm i may have to experiment with sausage squeezing! I will let you know how it goes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrishY Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I am sure you can use sosmix to make veggie scotch eggs. I have bad memories of making scotch eggs at school because I am left handed and put a single oven glove on one hand and opened the oven door with it and took the tray out with the gloveless hand - VERY ouch wish I could find my little book from school that I wrote down all the recipes in but it's been lost in house moves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strepsy Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Thanks everyone I shall look out for sosmix. I agree Linda McCartney's may be the most sqeezable. Good luck in your experimenting theherd123! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I don't suppose anyone has a veggie version for scotch eggs? DD has to make them in school when she goes back and doesn't want to use sausage meat. Here is a reciepe for veggie scotch eggs I posted a while ago. I don't know how to do a link to it It is on page 7. Cheesey Scotch Eggs 4 hard boiled eggs 225g (8oz) Scottish cheddar cheese 40g (1.5oz) flour 1 egg beaten 2 tablespoons milk seasoning dried breadcrumbs to coat Mix cheese, flour and seasoning Add beaten egg and milk and beat well Using wet hands, coat hard boiled egg in the cheese mixture Coat with breadcrumbs and fry in deep fat for 5 -7 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I have used Sosmix before for Veggie Scotch eggs - they were lovely. I've also made them with a very cheesey mashed potato coating, with a little finely chopped onion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milly Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I know it's a bit late, as you posted the question ages ago, but we sometimes buy scotch eggs from a company which comes to our local farmers market. They also do a range of vegetarian coatings, you could look at their web site for ideas: www.handmadescotcheggs.co.uk (unfortunately it's very expensive to buy them online due to the p&p). If you click on the online shop you can see the ones marked with a V, it might give you some ideas for coatings. However, now that we have a surplus of eggs, I would like to make my own scotch eggs, so I'm going to try the recipe for cooking them in the oven.

Cinnamon Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 Right - I am making these tonight. Breadcrumbs - do you all use nice fresh ones which I can do in a trice in my mini blender,or shop bought ones? I thought I would add some parsley & thyme to the sausagemeat too, & maybe a dash of Worcestershire sauce I bought one for Hubbys lunch at our local farmers market last week, & he really liked it.

pbfhpunk Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I made scotch eggs last night and was slightly concerned as they were about the size of tennis balls!! I used the oven method and have just had a text from my husband saying they are the nicest thind I've ever made. Am v happy! I don't like them, although it's more I really don't like the look of them so have never had them, so might try one of my own tonight!

The Dogmother Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I make banty egg ones a lot and Rosie loves them in her lunchbox for school. Emma, have you tried those lovely pates that Cauldron make? They might make nice egg coverings for scotch eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraJ Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I don't like the whole scotch eggs but love the picnic eggs, would the oven method work for them too you think? not sure how you would get the nice round shape thoug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
