Ingredients
- 1 pound pork sausage
- 6 boiled medium eggs (or 4 large eggs)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the wire rack to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Sausage Rounds: Divide the sausage meat into six equal portions. Pat each portion into a thin round about ¼-inch thick, large enough to fully enclose an egg.
- Wrap the Eggs: Place one boiled egg in the center of each sausage round. Gently stretch and mold the sausage meat around the egg, pinching seams together carefully until each egg is completely wrapped. It requires patience but is manageable.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the wrapped eggs seam-side down on the prepared wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes until the sausage is fully cooked through and browned.
- Rest and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the Scotch eggs to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps retain the juices and improve flavor.
Notes
- Use well-seasoned sausage for best flavor or add your own spices to plain sausage meat.
- Boil the eggs to your preferred doneness; medium eggs here provide a slightly soft yolk.
- If the sausage casing is too sticky, lightly dust your hands with flour or wet them to handle the meat easier.
- For crispier exterior, you can brush the wrapped eggs lightly with oil before baking.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispness.
