Im going to take you on a journey to flavor town! I LOVE making these! Its a boiled quail egg wrapped in a seasoned sausage, coated in bread crumbs and fried. All the textures combined make a heavenly meal or snack. This is my own recipe i created from traditional scotch eggs made with chicken eggs and hands down one of my favorite foods. Ill jump right in with the steps i take to make them! (Recipe at bottom of page)

Take a small amount (about 1.25 oz) of sausage and press into a disc. I use a sage sausage that i season up with my own spices.


Next, place a hard boiled egg in the middle and wrap it up! Roll it in your hand to make an even ball and make sure there are no gaps.

Once you have all your eggs wrapped in the sausage, roll them in flour, dip them in the egg wash, then into the bread crumbs. My secret is using equal portions of bread crumbs and saltine crackers!


Once you have them all coated. Put a few at a time into your oil. Make sure they are submerged evenly and turn often if needed.


Lastly is a bit of peppered gravy and you have one of the best things you will ever eat! They never last at home and they are perfect for a party or potluck! I hope you enjoy my recipe below, and be creative with your own scotch eggs!
