How to Make Christmas Scotch Eggs

Scotch eggs are hard boiled eggs covered with sausage and breadcrumbs, then deep fried. Adora's Christmas version of this classic food uses quail eggs instead of chicken eggs and adds chestnuts and cranberries to the sausage coating.

I've occasionally considered making scotch eggs at home, but I don't have a deep fryer. Have you ever made them?

I use seasoned breadcrumbs. If you want them a bit browner, do an egg wash on them before tossing them in the oven. Usually 25 minutes at 350º (176ºC) will do the trick nicely.

Oven baked? That's an interesting approach. I may try that.

I made Scotch eggs for the first time about a month ago. What a hit! now I have people requesting them all the time, and I'm even making a dozen for a friend to take to work the day after Xmas. I deep fry only to get a nice golden color on them, then I put them in the oven to finish up. DELISH! this idea of using cranberries and chestnuts is great! I'll stick to good ol' chicken eggs, though lol
