Asian Scotch Eggs Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking pan with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack over the foil.
• Cut and form pork sausage into 2-ounce patties. Place a hard-boiled egg in the center of each patty and press sausage around the egg.
• Beat raw egg in a small bowl. Place bread crumbs in another bowl. Dip each patty into the egg; roll in the bread crumbs to coat. Place coated patties on the wire rack.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 22 minutes. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Fill a saucepan with 1/2-inch water; bring to a boil. Carefully place cold eggs into saucepan, cover the saucepan with a lid, reduce heat to medium-high, and cook until eggs yolks are soft, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and pour cold water over eggs to halt the cooking process. Cool eggs to room temperature in cold water; peel and dry eggs on paper towels.
• Mix sausage, mustard, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl. Shape into 6 equal-size balls.
• Lay a piece of plastic wrap on a flat work surface. Place 1 ball of sausage mixture into the center of the plastic wrap, fold the plastic wrap over sausage, and flatten into an 1/8-inch thick oval shape. Pull plastic wrap back and place 1 egg in the center of the sausage. Pick up plastic wrap, moisten fingertips, and press sausage around egg to cover completely, sealing sausage around egg. Repeat with remaining eggs and sausage.
• Place bread crumbs in a shallow bowl. Pour flour into another shallow bowl. Beat remaining 2 eggs in another shallow bowl.
• Gently press eggs into flour to coat; shake off excess flour. Dip eggs into the beaten egg, then press into bread crumbs. Gently toss between your hands so any bread crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away. Place the breaded eggs onto a plate.
• Working in batches, cook eggs in the preheated oil until golden, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, at least 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Pour 2 inches of oil into a wide heavy pot and heat over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F.
• While the oil is heating, divide the sausage into 6 portions. Put the breadcrumbs, flour and beaten eggs in separate shallow bowls. Roll each hard-boiled egg in the flour and press 1 portion of the sausage around each egg. Dip the sausage-wrapped eggs into the beaten eggs and roll in the breadcrumbs.
• When the oil is hot, fry the eggs in batches until the sausage is cooked and the eggs are golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a paper towel-lined plate and serve warm.

Steps:

• Gently fry the chopped shallot in a frying pan until browned, then set aside to cool.
• Place 6 of the eggs in a pan of boiling water and leave on a high heat for 5 minutes, then remove and soak them in cold water.
• Break the shells off each of the eggs, then pat them with kitchen roll to remove any moisture (this will make it easier for the turkey to stick to the eggs).
• Mix together the ground turkey, fried shallot, herbs and spices in a large bowl, then divide into 6 equal parts.
• Flatten the turkey mixture, then place each egg into the centre and gently fold the turkey mixture so it covers the whole egg. Repeat with all 6 eggs.
• Crack the last egg into a bowl and whisk, then coat the turkey in egg and roll in the almonds.
• Preheat the oven to 170C/340F, and leave the eggs for 10 minutes before baking.
• Bake for 20-30 minutes.
