Scotch Eggs

Classic Scotch Eggs and of course a JAH Twist on it with Breakfast Scotch Eggs made from Homemade Spam and Pickled Eggs. But you can do these soft or hard-boiled too. It’s all up to you.

Scotch Eggs

Classic Scotch Eggs

A Scotch egg is a Soft or Hard Boiled Egg wrapped in Sausage Meat and almost always battered before being deep fried. Served with Sauce or Gravies.

The Classic Scotch Eggs are wrapped in Sausage Meat of your choosing. Breaded and Deep Fried. Additional ingredients can be added. Such as Mustard and Nutmeg along with Salt & Pepper.

Breakfast Scotch Eggs

Soft/Hard Boiled Eggs or Pickled Eggs wrapped in Homemade Spam Meat. Battered and Deep Fried. Served with Hollandaise Sauce.

These I find are extremely addictive. I don’t know what it is. Possibly the extra zing that I get from the Pickled Eggs and the Hollandaise Sauce or that Spam Flavored meat. But it works really well and Perfect for Breakfast as the Zing wakes you up.

Pickled Scotch Eggs

The Pickled version uses Pickled Eggs. They really add some zing. Wrapped in any Sausage Meat desired. For Breakfast Scotch eggs they work really well, for others maybe not.

Eggs

Soft Boil

Bring water to a boil and lower the eggs in. Boil for 6 minutes for a firm white, yet runny yolk for the Classic Style. After boiling, immediately cool down in ice water.

Typically, the eggs are only boiled enough to set the Whites. This allows for a runny yolk, but you certainly don’t have to. Use a Hard Boiled or Pickled Eggs if desired. These add a nice zing along with the Meat mix.

Hard Boil Eggs

Bring water to a boil and gently lay the eggs in and boil for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest 5 minutes. Strain the water out and add cold water and let rest for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs under running warm water. This gives almost completely set Egg Yolks.

So, however you like your Eggs. Runny Yolk, Hard Boiled or Pickled. They all work well here.

To expand the options even more, you don’t even have to limit yourself to Chicken Eggs. Duck or Quail Eggs can be used too.

Meat Mix

This post introduces a Scotch Egg with a Homemade Spam covering. With Hollandaise Sauce drizzled over for a Breakfast Scotch Egg.

When you can make homemade spam, this opens the door for various other recipes. Such as here for Breakfast Scotch Eggs and others dishes.

Portion the meat out at 90 g which gives 5 portions per 1 lbs of meat. Plus a little excess. This is the size of a standard burger patty.

For a Sausage texture if making up your own meat mix add in the addition of 1/4 tsp of baking Soda. It changes the texture of the meat to that similar to sausage meat.

You could even combine Ground Meat with Spices and a bit of baking soda for homemade Sausages.

Batter for Scotch Eggs

The batter is set up the same as your basic breading station. Seasoned Flour, Egg Mix and Panko or Bread Crumbs.

Dip into the Seasoned Flour, Egg Whites and finally the Panko Flakes or Bread Crumbs.

Use the Seasoned Flour to coat the Egg before wrapping the meat around to assist in adherence.

Hollandaise sauce

Hollandaise Sauce is the perfect sauce to serve over these. Use the Egg whites at the breading Station. Simply add some water to the Egg Whites and use those as the Egg mix in the Standard Breading Station.

Other Sauces

Ranch Dressing, Hot Sauce, Hot Mustard, HP Sauce, Ketchup, and Gravies can be used to serve alongside or on top.
