Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 pound pork sausage
  • 6 medium boiled eggs (or 4 large boiled eggs)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the wire rack to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare sausage rounds: Divide the pork sausage evenly into six portions. Pat each portion into a thin round about ¼ inch thick, large enough to wrap around each egg.
  3. Wrap the eggs: Place one boiled egg in the center of each sausage round. Gently stretch and mold the sausage around the egg, pinching the edges together to seal completely. Take your time to ensure the egg is fully encased in the sausage.
  4. Bake: Arrange the wrapped eggs on the prepared wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the sausage is fully cooked and browned.
  5. Rest and serve: Remove the baked scotch eggs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to settle before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use medium or large boiled eggs, adjusting portions of sausage as necessary to fully wrap the eggs.
  • For extra crispiness, you can broil the eggs for the last 2-3 minutes of baking but watch closely to prevent burning.
  • Let eggs rest before cutting to avoid losing juices and to make slicing easier.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature with mustard or your favorite dipping sauce.
