Weekend Brunch Treats - Scotch Egg
The Ben's Canteen recipe changed over the years, the first version was probably the best but complicated and in time it got simplified to this still absolutely delicious treat.
INGREDIENTS
Sausage Mix – make 5 Scotch Eggs
500g Sausage Meat
100g Streaky Bacon finely chopped
100g Black Pudding chopped small
10g finely chopped Chives
10g blitzed Dried Mushrooms
10g Mushroom Ketchup
Egg & Flour
1 Soft Boiled Egg
1Egg
200g Panko Bread Crumbs
100g Flour
METHOD
Mix all of the Sausage Mix ingredients together in a bowl. Take 140g of the Mix and shape around a Soft Boiled Egg – FYI, when you’ve finished soft boiling the Egg, put it in iced water, this stops it cooking and is the key to that magic moment when you cut into your Scotch Egg and the yolk is still runny.
Dip your Sausage encased Egg into an Egg, then Flour and then Breadcrumbs. At the Canteen it was then deep fried for around 8 minutes but at home you’re probably better off popping them in the oven at 180 for at least twenty mins.
Also, if you have any of the Sausage Meat Mix left over then shape it into a burger patty and fry and then you’ll have the ingredient for the most amazing Breakfast Bap.
The Scotch Egg (or Bap) is delicious with a Bloody Mary. To get a bottle of Bloody Bens Mix go to: https://shop.bloodybens.com/collections/our-products
