Margalot Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Hello, thought I would give you my low fat alternative to the regular scotch egg ( I am also a Sliimming world member so we do a heck of a lot with eggs- as they are classed as free food!) Hard boil your eggs and take a very low fat sauasage such as Sainsburys be good to yourself less than 3% fat, undo the sausage skin and mould the sausage meat around the egg, roll into brown breadcrumbs using a beaten egg if you like and instead of frying bake in the oven until done. You can add extra herbs or very finely chopped onion to the sausage meat or even instead of breadcrumbs wrap very lean bacon around the sausgae meat They are yummy! and if anyone is following the slimming world plan these are only 1 syn on RED days Happy baking Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherryblossom Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Thanks very much. I made some scotch aggs a couple of weeks ago and was not keen on the whole frying thing, but I wasn't sure how they would do in the oven. Do you know what sort of temp and time in the oven? Thanks very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margalot Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 I cooked mine at gas mark 5 or around 180c? for about 25-30 mins you can sort of tell when they are done by giving them a prod! I keep them in a fridge for a snack to grab when hungry, just had one for lunch mmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 They sound good! - I've been baking them as well, since Kate told me that's how she does hers. I think they are nicer than fried ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Brilliant - I've been wanting to make my own for some time. My boys both really like them but well the shop ones aren't very nice. I always thought they had to be fried as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 has anyone tried a vegetarian version? using vegetarian sausages? I have - some time ago now. I used Sosmix for them. I've also made them with a Glamorgan Sausage recipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
