Scotch Eggs Recipe

Scotch eggs are a traditional food for a picnic. In England, they are sold in supermarkets, already packed and ready to eat.

In America, they are served in restaurants, hot and with different sauces.

The first recipe of such eggs goes back to 1809, when it was mentioned in the English cookbook.

There are several variations of this dish. Very often, sausages without skin are used instead of raw minced meat. There are even some recipes where a boiled egg should first be marinated in Worcestershire sauce. Sometimes they are baked on the barbecue or fried in deep fat.
