Scotch Eggs

[ImLostAgain]

I bought a scotch egg in a farm shop yesterday. It was delicious. I got to thinking, have I ever had one hot. You know what, I have no idea if I have or not. If I fancy another one do I just heat it in the oven or maybe the microwave? Or are they not meant to be heated up?

[hc4361]

I've only eaten them hot when they've been freshly cooked and the yolk is lovely and soft.
I wouldn't reheat a shop bought one unless there were instructions on the packet.

[Rockrose]

I have them hot all the time cooked from fresh - but I like my yolks hard

[ImLostAgain]

No instructions with them. They were just sitting there. Hand made in their breadcrumbs, just waiting for me. So, cold it is then.

[hc4361]

Have you tried them with black pudding instead of the sausage meat? Or haggis? Both delicious

[ImLostAgain]

I don't like haggis but the black pudding sounds lovely.

How can you have a Scotch egg with a runny yolk ? Surely the egg has to be hard-boiled before you can wrap it.

[ummmm]

Make your own. Surprisingly easy.

Of course you can have them soft, Jackdaw, as long as the white is firm.

I've seen TV food shows create a fresh scotch egg that had a runny yolk when cut into. Don't recall details but egg must have been put in raw and then cooked with the sausage meat.

Cold is fine. Heat up a commercially bought cold one if you wish.

[Old_Geezer]

How can one not like haggis ?!

[ummmm]

No OG...they are cooked first.

If it says scotch on the label I'll be looking for a wee whisky with mine.

[Mexican18]

I'd like to see OG wrap a raw egg in sausage meat! I'm

[ImLostAgain]

Marks & sparks sell them with runny yolks.
How can anyone not like haggis? ......it's easy!

[Rockrose]

Oh my I love haggis

[Old_Geezer]

Must be easy Mex. Make indentation, pour in egg, put top on.

It's so obvious reading this thread but never thought about a warm/hot scotch egg. I've only had haggis whilst in Scotland... love it, and I've not had Black pudding for years... something that I always overlook and forget when shopping.

[Mamyalynne]

This is a nice simple recipe.

Arksided only have cooked breakfast on a Saturday, never compete without black sausage and some free range eggs.

[Arksided]

On Saturday mornings if I'm cooking myself something warm, my ambition goes as far as Egg and Bacon butty, and Mushrooms if I have some.

That reminds me, whilst in the farm shop I also bought some pork ginger and spring onion sausage. I just fancied it even though I've never had it before. I'm off to give it a go now. I'll let you know.
