Servings: 12 Scotch eggs
Calories: 270kcal
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef or chicken sausage
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 12 large hard boiled eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175°C).
- Line two small rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Combine beef (or chicken) and salt in a large bowl. Use your hands to mix the ingredients together and form into 12 meatballs. Place 6 meatballs on each of the lined baking sheets and press flat.
- Place one boiled egg in the middle of each circle of meat and wrap the meat around the egg, leaving no gaps or holes.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes. The top should look cooked. Flip over and continue baking for another 10 minutes. For a crispier shell, finish under the broiler for 5 minutes.
Notes
If you want to add your favorite herb like rosemary or garlic powder, combine up to 1 teaspoon per herb added with the meat before wrapping the egg.
Use soft or hard boiled eggs for this recipe. The softer the egg, the harder it is to peel. A small spoon can help get the shell off all in one go. Watch this tutorial to see how to peel a boiled egg with a spoon.
