CannyCat Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Wow, those sounds great! Do you think they would work if you shallow fried them, or baked them instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 I have only eaten them at work and they have always been deep fried. I will ask the Chef if they could be shallow fried or baked. The finished eggs are enormous and very filling so I usually share one with a friend at work.

melcotton Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 any news on whether these can be baked? I have some bantie eggs to use up so this recipe would be great! Mel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I think Kate makes a version that can be baked - but probably with the usual sausage meat covering. I'll give her a nudge. I have made them with very cheesy mashed potato as a covering and have baked those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Does it have to be SCOTTISH cheddar cheese Ali? Actually, I'm not sure I've seen any Scottish cheese in the shops. We have Welsh cheese. Maybe I just don't know it when I see it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 Of course Orkney Cheese is my favourite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Is it mature, Ali? We love a good strong cheddar! The scotch eggs with cheesy mash sound good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 This is a lovely cheese and strong It makes your tongue tingle I'm not sure if you can get it down south www.mclelland.co.uk Shame it has been taken over by a French company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Thanks Ali. I've got some of that Seriously Strong Cheddar in my fridge at the moment! Sainsburys had it on a special offer last week. It's certainly a good strong flavour and great to use in cooking as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 I forgot all about asking the chef at work about baking the scotch eggs I am off work at the moment but have to phone this afternoon to let them know when I will be going back. I will try and remeber to ask then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Well, don't sound too alert and conscious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 Chef at work doesn't see any reason why the scotch eggs cannot be cooked in the oven. It is just easier to deep fry them at work because of the quantities involved. I was told to cook them as you would for a shop bought scotch egg and make sure they are piping hot throughout.
