| Scotch Eggs at The Thirsty Lion. Phoenix, AZ |
Scotch Eggs are slowly gaining a popularity here in the
Midwestern Flint hills of Kansas. Well, at least in from seeing them
on the menus in various restaurant bars. With that said, I first had scotch
eggs back when I had visited Phoenix, Arizona, at a restaurant known as The
Thirsty Lion.
Aggieville
Simple and delicious, here’s how you can make these scotch
eggs. I’m only writing this recipe as 12 servings just in case you’re willing to
make a dozen of eggs to serve for a gathering.
You’ll need
3 Pounds of
ground Italian Sausage: Mild
12 hard
boiled eggs, peeled
3
tablespoons of all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon
of season salt
¼ teaspoon
of black pepper
¼ teaspoon
of paprika
½
tablespoon of Italian seasoning
½
tablespoon of Ground red pepper
3 beaten
eggs.
2 cups of
Italian bread crumbs
Oil for
deep frying
First, put your eggs in a pot of cold water and bring them
to a boil. You can boil them depending on how you prefer the middle yolk to be.
3 to 4 minutes will allow them to be slightly runny. When your eggs are
finished, place them in a bowl of cold water and allow them to sit for peeling.
Gently, you will want to peel them carefully.
In a medium bowl, mix together your sausage along with your
Italian seasoning and red pepper. Take a small handful of your sausage, roll
them, and divide them up into twelve balls. Use your best judgment to determine
how much it will cover the egg.
Three Bowl Method
In one bowl combine your flour, season salt, black pepper,
and paprika.
In another bowl, have your 3 beaten eggs.
In your third bowl, you should have the breadcrumbs.
Forming Method
Flatten out your sausage in the palm of your hand into a
Pattie. Roll a peeled egg into the flour, and then pop it in the middle of the
Pattie. Gently mold the sausage around the egg with your hands so that the egg
is covered completely.
*Repeat for each egg
Roll the sausage-wrapped egg in the flour, shake off the
excess, and dip it into the beaten eggs, and last, roll it in the breadcrumbs for
a really good coating.
In a skillet, saucepan, or deep fryer, heat your oil to
300-365 degrees F. carefully lower the eggs in the hot oil and fry for five
minutes.
*Repeat for
each egg
If you’re cooking them in a skillet or a saucepan, be sure
to turn them over every so often so that you get a golden brown color.
Tip: If you are unsure about the sausage being
undercooked, take them out and place them in a oven to cook for a couple of
minutes.
Let them cool off slightly, and serve it with Hot Mustard,
Mayo, or Garlic and Herb Mayo.
Any condiment of your choice will do just fine.
