ladyjulian Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 A variation on scotch eggs! Brilliant for quail keepers who suddenly have too many eggs. Most supermarkets, and Holland & Barratt, sell a just-add-water vegetarian sausage mix. Boil the quail eggs for 4 - 5 minutes until hardboiled and peel. Make up the sausage mix and then add a small amount of beaten egg. Use the sausage mix to wrap each egg (you can do it without the beaten egg, but it doesn't work so well - unlike piggy sausage meat, the veggie mix doesn't hold together so well). Roll each wrapped egg in breadcrumbs and then fry them for a few minutes on each side until golden brown. Deep fry if you prefer and you have a deep fryer (I don't!) Next time I do these I will probably add some Lea & Perrins to the sausage mix, which was unfortunately a bit bland. They were still good though. Definitely one for showing off to friends, and dead easy to do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Sosmix is a good mix for replacing piggy sausage in recipes like this - it holds together quite well. I like to make these using cheesy mash with softened leeks added, wrapped around the quail eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
