Scotch Eggs At The Cabin

 

It was a beautiful fall day, peaking around 73F, so after working a half day, I came home and packed up for a hike to my cabin. Hunting season is in a few weeks. Time to make last minute preparations and be sure my boom stick is on the mark. 

I decided to make Scotch eggs. They are hard boiled eggs that are wrapped in sausage, breaded, then cooked. Traditionally, they are smoked. But today I’m grilling them with a red pear and cubanelle pepper. The recipe is easy, but involves a bit of prep. 

you’ll need:

- 4 hard boiled eggs 

- 3 raw eggs whipped in a bowl

- 1 cup flour

- 1 pound sausage, quartered and flattened into a patty. I used a mixture of Turkey and chorizo sausage 

- 2 cups breadcrumbs. I used 1 cup panko breadcrumbs and one cup of crushed Doritos 

DIRECTIONS 

- roll hard boiled egg in flour

- wrap egg in sausage, like a meatball, be sure to seal the seams good  

- roll meatball in flour

- dip meatball in egg, be sure to get full coverage 

- roll meatball in breadcrumbs 

I cooked them for 1 hour and 45 minutes on the grill, it was a camp grill so it isn’t super efficient. I kept turning them until all sides were crisp, then wrapped them in tinfoil for the last 30 minutes to be sure they were cooked through.
