Homemade Scotch eggs, irresistible crunchy egg picnic snacks, there are a few claims for the original Scotch egg, I wrongly assumed that they came from Scotland but the most likely scenario is that Scott's guards based in Wellington Barracks London, took a liking to these egg and sausage snacks and the Londoner's gave them their name.
Fortnum and Mason created a boiled egg dish with sausage meat and sold them in hampers, Mrs Beeton later added a layer of breadcrumb to these beauties which at the time were popular as a dinner dish with gravy. The inspiration for Scotch eggs may come from Indian Kofta (meatballs).
Whichever is true I think you will love them, and I wanted to recreate the trio of Scotch eggs that are sold on the deli counter at the supermarket that I work for, I hope i did them justice.
If you decide to have a crack at them please let me know how you got on.
