It’s a fiddly dish. But well worth the muckin’ about. Sink your teeth into one of these browned beauties and Ah… it’s a breakfast of ham, eggs, and toast in a single bite!

1 cup Fine Breadcrumbs
1 cup Cooked Ham, minced well
2 Eggs Beaten
1 Tbsp. fresh Sage or Tarragon chopped
Pinch of Black Pepper or 1 pinch of Mild Yellow Curry

8 Peeled Hard-boiled Eggs

Olive oil for frying

Mix breadcrumbs, spices, and cooked ham. Beat 2 eggs and stir in to make the coating. With your hands, scoop up some of th coating muck. With the other hand cradle a peeled egg, coating the egg with the muck. Cover the egg completely and set aside, continue until you’ve covered all 8 white orbs.

Heat the oil. Gentle put the coated eggs in and brown on all sides. Serve immediately.

Left over cold Scotch Eggs are a very fine addition to a ploughman’s lunch which is basically the Englishman’s version of an Italian’s antipasto platter.

LUXED Up Version;
Substitute 5 uncooked prawns for the cooked ham. Chop finely and add to mix.

Variations; Bake for 15 minutes at 400 instead of frying.

Hi, I'm Marianne Hines. Most call me ANNiE. The nick is short and sweet and not at all like me. I’m 5’11” and happiest when there's sand between my toes, when I'm dirty, windblown, and adorned with the debris of whatever project I'm working on. I build, design,and create in many forms. I’ve spent most of my life in the Northwest. Twelve years ago I came to the southeast for love, that love is now my husband. I love London and Paris for the art, food, and architecture. I love Spring and Fall, mountains, untouched snow, the smell of a horse’s mane, the sound of paper dry leaves under foot, birds singing, reef snorkeling, flea market hunting, and cooking for friends who love to eat, to be loud, and to laugh.
