This classic dish involves a hard boiled egg wrapped in hamburger meat and then breadcrumbs.
Scotch Eggs
12 hard boiled eggs
1 tbsp chopped shallots
1 tbsp chopped parsley
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
3 cups hamburger meat, lean ground beef
2 whole eggs, uncooked
1 cup flour
Mix the shallots, parsley, 1 cup of panko and hamburger meat. Season with salt and pepper.
Roll the hard boiled eggs in the flour to dust the outside.
Divide the meat mixture into 12 equal amounts and wrap around the flour-dusted eggs.
Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm.
Roll the wrapped eggs in flour, then uncooked eggs, and last the remaining cup of panko. Again, chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
