<\/a>My English relatives think it’s a bit odd that the one thing I crave from England more than anything else is a scotch egg (and yes, despite the name scotch eggs are English, not Scottish).\u00a0 That’s a bit like an American abroad longing for a twinkie, since, like the twinkie, the scotch egg is a staple of gas (petrol) station food.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n When homemade, though,\u00a0a scotch egg can be a great snack, particularly for a picnic.\u00a0 Actually, after some research just now, that might be\u00a0true for\u00a0twinkies<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n RECIPE<\/strong><\/p>\n Scotch Eggs<\/p>\n Preheat oven to 400 degrees F<\/p>\n Roll the hard boiled egg in a mixture of salt, pepper and flour.\u00a0 Form the sausage into flat disks 1\/8″ to 1\/4″ thick and wrap them around the eggs.\u00a0 Next, roll them in the whisked egg and then in the breadcrumbs.\u00a0 Many scotch eggs are fried, but I bake mine in the oven at 400 F for about 30 minutes (until the sausage is cooked).<\/p>\n For the mustard sauce, mix equal parts mustard powder and cold water, and let sit for at least 10 minutes.\u00a0 Note: this mustard is very hot, similar to a strong horseradish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My English relatives think it’s a bit odd that the one thing I crave from England more than anything else is a scotch egg (and yes, despite the name scotch eggs are English, not Scottish).
