The original Scotch Egg is said to have been invented by the British department store Fortnum &amp;\u00a0Mason in\u00a01738. The name \u201cScotch\u201d didn\u2019t come as a reference to Scotland at all, rather, it came from the term \u201cscotched\u201d which refers to the preparation\u00a0method of coating something with breadcrumbs and frying it.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The perfect Scotch Egg is all about layers. A crispy exterior, flavorful sausage, and a slightly soft-yolked hard-boiled egg. The result is a combo that is strangely addicting.\u00a0 What\u2019s not so addicting is the belly-bomb that the deep-fried version can be. Yes, traditionally all Scotch Eggs are deep-fried,\u00a0 but the baked version is just as good and certainly easier (especially if you are camping!)\u00a0\u00a0Great as an appetizer (cut in half), for brunch , breakfast or picnic.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><b>Ingredients:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 lb\u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">turkey or pork sausage, with casing removed (can be seasoned if you like)<\/span><\/li>\n<li>8 <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hard boiled eggs, peeled<\/span><\/li>\n<li>2 <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eggs, whisked<\/span><\/li>\n<li>1\/3 c\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dry bread crumbs (Panko crumbs would also work very well.)<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Directions:<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preheat oven to 375\u00b0.\u00a0 <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Divide sausage meat into eight equal portions. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pat out one portion to 1\/8-inch thickness. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wrap completely around a hard boiled egg, pressing edges to seal. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Repeat with remaining eggs and sausage.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roll sausage-coated eggs in whisked eggs, then in bread crumbs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Place eggs on baking sheet.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bake in preheated 375\u00b0 oven until lightly browned, about 20 to 25 minutes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Serve warm.

Bring the water to a hard boil over medium heat. Turn off the heat and let the eggs stand in the water for 7-10 minutes (depending on how firm you want your yolks). Move the pot to the sink and fill it with a couple changes of cool water, to cool the eggs down. Dry the eggs. Hard boiled eggs can be stored in the refrigerator (be sure to make the container as Hard Boiled) for up to 1 week.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Serves:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Depends &#8211; 8 as an appetizer, 4 as a meal<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Source:\u00a0 <\/strong>Cathy Painter, Allison Painter<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contrary to popular belief,\u00a0Scotch Eggs have nothing to do with Scotland.
