Ingredients
- 1 pound pork sausage
- 6 boiled medium eggs (or 4 large eggs)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the 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 pork sausage into six equal portions. Pat each portion into a thin round about ¼ inch thick, large enough to wrap around an egg.
- Wrap Eggs: Place a boiled egg in the center of each sausage round. Gently stretch and mold the sausage meat around the egg, pinching to seal and ensure the egg is fully encased in sausage without gaps.
- Bake: Arrange the wrapped eggs on the prepared wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the sausage is fully cooked and browned.
- Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the scotch eggs rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use medium or large boiled eggs; adjust sausage portions if using larger eggs to ensure full coverage.
- Allow eggs to fully cool before wrapping to avoid sausage from becoming too soft and difficult to shape.
- For extra crispiness, broil the baked sausages for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Serve with mustard or your favorite dipping sauces for added flavor.
- This recipe can be doubled easily to serve more guests.
