- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
-
Place the eggs in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 8 minutes. Remove from heat and place in ice water to cool. Peel the eggs and set aside.
-
In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onion and cook until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Stir in the fresh thyme leaves and cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat and let cool.

In a bowl, combine the caramelized onion mixture with the breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper.

Take a portion of the breadcrumb mixture and flatten it in your hand. Place a peeled egg in the center and wrap the mixture around it, making sure the egg is completely covered.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully drop the scotch eggs into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
