Scotch Eggs

Scotch Eggs

Serves: 6

This version is one that is a bit healthier than the original fried eggs they serve in England. They can be baked and cooled then taken on picnics.

1 pound turkey or pork sausages

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

8 plain or pickled hard-cooked eggs

1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 egg, beaten

Divide sausage into 8 (2-once) portions. On lightly crumb-sprinkled surface, pat out each portion to about 1/8 inch thickness. Wrap completely around 1 of the hard-cooked eggs, pressing edges together to seal. Repeat with remaining sausage and hard-cooked eggs, pressing edges together to seal. Repeat with remaining sausage and hard cooked eggs. Roll sausage-coated eggs in crumbs in beaten egg. Place on baking sheet and bake in preheated 375 degrees F oven until lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
