Scotch Eggs

There’s a local Irish Pub that I like to frequent and enjoy a nice pint out on their patio. They’ve got the standard pub fare like bangers and mash, fish and chips, and shepherds pie. I always gravitate towards their delicious Scotch eggs. It’s a swiss army knife of foods. It’s got you covered no matter what time of day it is.

As much I love going down to the pub for a pint and some Scotch eggs, sometimes life gets in the way. I often have to settle for a cold one on the back porch instead of the pub. I decided I needed those wonderful savory little orbs to go along with my beer so I developed this recipe. Whether you’re looking for a quick bite for breakfast, brunch, or simply a late-night snack, this delicious scotch eggs recipe has you covered. Really, what’s not to like about a soft-boiled egg covered in sausage and deep-fried?
