Preparation time30 minutes

Cooking time25 minutes

Servings2 - 4

Ingredients

4QL D'Fresh eggs

250 g sausage meat

1 sprig fresh thyme, chopped

1 tbsp parsley, finely chopped

1 tbsp chive, finely chopped

100 g plain flour, lightly seasoned with salt and ground black pepper

1QL D'Fresh egg, beaten

150 g panko breadcrumbs

1 loil (for frying)

Salt and crushed black pepper, to taste

Method

Soak QL D'Fresh eggs in iced cold water for about 15minutes.
Boil the eggs in boiling water for 8mins and then place them back into a bowl of iced water. Remove shells from the eggs.
Remove sausage meat from casing, then add in freshly chopped herbs and season with salt and pepper, mixing well.
Divide the meat mixture into four portions, flatten the meat and wrap each egg with a portion of the meat mixture. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
Dip each sausage meat-coated egg into the flour, shaking off any excess, then into the beaten egg, and finally, coat with the breadcrumbs.
Heat the oil in a deep heavy-bottomed pan. Carefully place each Scotch egg into the hot oil and deep-fry for 6 - 8 minutes, until golden and crisp and the sausage meat is completely cooked.
