Crispy on the outside, savory in the middle, and with a soft golden egg center, these homemade Scotch Eggs are the ultimate pub-style snack or protein-packed lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten (for dredging)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Boil 6 eggs for 6–7 minutes. Transfer to ice water, then peel once cool.
  2. In a bowl, mix ground sausage with salt, pepper, and thyme.
  3. Divide sausage into 6 parts. Flatten into patties and wrap around each peeled egg completely.
  4. Dredge each in flour, dip in beaten egg, then coat in breadcrumbs. For extra crunch, dip again in egg and breadcrumbs.
  5. Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry eggs for 5–6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Remove and drain on paper towels. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use medium-boiled eggs for creamy yolks that won’t overcook when fried.
  • Wet hands when shaping sausage to avoid sticking.
  • For a lighter option, bake at 400°F for 25–30 minutes instead of frying.
