Easy Scotch Eggs Recipe

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Place the eggs in a saucepan and fill with enough water to cover the eggs. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool.

Peel the eggs and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground sausage, bread crumbs, salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried parsley flakes. Mix until well combined.

Divide the sausage mixture into 4 equal portions and flatten each portion into a disc shape. Place one peeled egg in the center of each disc and wrap the sausage mixture around the egg, sealing it completely.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the scotch eggs and fry until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.

Transfer the cooked scotch eggs to a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Place the scotch eggs on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to ensure the sausage is cooked through.

Serve scotch eggs warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
