Ingredients
- Eggs — 7 pcs.
- Black pudding (blood sausage) — ½ pounds
- Ground sausage meat — 1 pound
- Salt — ½ tsp.
- Black pepper — ½ tsp.
- Breadcrumbs — 1 cup
- All-purpose flour — ⅓ cup
- Vegetable oil — 6 cups
Instructions
- Boil 6 eggs for 5 minutes and then transfer them to cold water.
- Add the sausage, salt, pepper, and black pudding to a mixing bowl.
- Mix until smooth to create a paste.
- Divide the mixture into six ball-shaped figures.
- Add flour and a pinch of salt to another mixing bowl, and combine breadcrumbs with the remaining egg in another one.
- Carefully peel the eggs.
- Wrap the eggs with the meat mixture, dip them in flour, and coat them with the breadcrumbs mixture.
- Repeat for each egg.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pan and place the eggs in it.
- Cook each egg separately for 5 minutes.
- Rest for a few minutes and serve.
Substitutions
- Vegetable oil — Gordon Ramsay's scotch eggs recipe requires deep frying, and vegetable oil is great for this. We decided to go with canola oil, which was also good. Canola oil is also considerably healthier, so keep that in mind.
- Breadcrumbs — Panko breadcrumbs are commonly used in Gordon Ramsay's scotch eggs recipe, but you could also use soft breadcrumbs, crushed oats, or crushed pretzels as well.
- All-purpose flour — All-purpose flour is great for coating. If you’re looking for an alternative, both rice flour and barley flour will work great.
Variations
- Green — While your eggs will look great wrapped in the meat mixture, it might be too minimal for some. If that’s the case with you, feel free to add some greens to the mix. Chives and parsley will always work great, while some also prefer diced green apples. Feel free to experiment.
- Spicy — While Gordon Ramsay's scotch eggs recipe makes for a great dish, it’s a fairly minimal one, which means you get to customize it freely. We’d strongly recommend considering adding some spices like ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon to the mix. A tablespoon or maybe even less would be enough for a spicy twist to the original recipe.
Equipment
- Measuring cups and spoons
- 2 mixing bowls
- Large pan
- Spatula
Storage
- First, let your dish cool completely. Then, transfer the leftovers to an airtight container. The leftovers will last for three days in the fridge.
- You can also opt for freezing the leftovers. In that case, they will last for three months.
Pro Tips
- The meat — Although Gordon Ramsay's scotch eggs recipe makes things very clear for you, don’t forget to remove the casings from the sausages!
- The eggs — Giving the boiled eggs a proper ice bath will make your life very easy when it’s time to peel them. You could also opt for boiling the eggs longer if you like them hard-boiled.
