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?
I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

Thanks so much for the link, and I’m glad your family enjoyed them! Theresa
No, thank you! Cooking our way through your recipe index is keeping us in Outlander while we are waiting for April.
No, I have never heard of Scotch Eggs until reading this post. To me, they look interesting and I am planning on trying to make them. I love sausage and I love eggs so I am going to give them a while. I pinned the recipe from the Outlander website. Thanks1
I am so glad that you are going to give them a try! I was surprised and like I said don’t put too much meat around the eggs.
This is a great idea for a get together where we all do something for breakfast. I’ve never had Scotch eggs, nor made them, but I love the idea!!
Oh, looks great; never heard of this recipe; would be perfect for a fall morning breakfast.
I have made similiar to this, using turkey sausage mixed with turkey hamburger 🙂 I also added green pepper and onions to mine 🙂 yum!! thanks for share
I’ve never heard of these. My husband would love this. We are going to have to try them this weekend, thanks for the recipe!
I have never heard of these but I love breakfast food and would love to try this one.
Never heard of this before. Looks good!
I have heard of these but never actually seen one. Sounds delicious and an easy way to eat sausage and eggs.
I’ve never had them! My mom’s family is Scottish, but she never did any traditional recipes. I was thinking that I would like to try some Scottish dishes the other day, but the big one is Haggis, and no way am I eating that!!! Thanks for sharing. I’m going to try to make these soon; Maybe Christmas breakfast!
YES i have had them many times. They are SO good!
I will need to make these. They would totally be a hit with my kids. I’ve actually seen them before but for some reason never actually occurred to me to make them:)
I have heard of them but have never made them or tried them. They always look good and I am sure we would like them.
I have never heard of a Scotch egg before also, very interesting though. Going to have to try these. I love that you used turkey sausage to, I prefer it. Going to be getting additional recipes from Outlander Kitchen too.
This looks so good. We have something similar to this in Vietnamese cuisine so I am give this a try.
This is something that I would love to try.
I have never tried these, but I don’t think you can go wrong with sausage and eggs. I would love to surprise my family…have them think it’s just sausage until they cut into it. Thanks for the recipe idea.
