Scotch Eggs from Outlander Kitchen

|

Scotch Eggs

I shared this back in 2014 and I am still a huge Outlander fan. So I thought why not share the time I made Scotch Eggs with y’all again. I can say that I have made this a few times since then and they turn out much better. Because of my new heart healthy diet these aren’t on the menu for me very much. However, the rest of the family enjoys when I make them so I do it as a treat or when we have company from time to time.

I began different things from Outlander Kitchen recently and I said I would be sharing with you the things that I make as I make them. Well the first thing I tried was Scotch Eggs because I was terribly interested in them. In truth I have heard of them before Outlander in other movies and was curious as to what they were and how they would turn out. My uncle loves eggs and sausage and  he is content with eating a heart attack on a plate for breakfast so I thought this would be perfect for him. I was a bit nervous and learn a few things.

First thing I learned is that I packed way too much sausage around my eggs! You don’t need to wrap a ton, just enough to cover the egg properly. Because I used too much sausage I had to cook them longer. I did drain all of the grease off of them and they were a huge hit. The kids loved that they could eat breakfast with their hands and my uncle ate four. I am pretty sure he needs a trip to his cardiologist after this. In my defense I did use turkey sausage (DON’T tell anyone!) All in all I am glad that I started with Scotch Eggs because they are fairly easily to make and since they were a hit it made introducing other dishes to the family easy. You cand find the recipe here.

Have you ever had Scotch Eggs? What did/do you think of them?
