Scotch Eggs

Tom and I love The Irish Rover restaurant in Louisville, KY. We don't get to eat out often but this would be in the top 10 places we might go. On their appetizers menu are Scotch Eggs, which is just a medium boiled egg wrapped in sausage and deep fried, and they are so delicious. Last night we decided to make our own. They turned out pretty good for a first attempt. I only wished we had more Coleman's Hot English Mustard. I don't typically eat pork, but this was from our friends at Stone Cross Farm here in Taylorsville. And we used our own Duck Eggs, the same ones featured in the colored eggs posting.

4-6 medium boiled Eggs, peeled
1 lb of Sausage
frying Oil
Oil Thermometer

Cover the eggs with the sausage. Make a generous layer because it will shrink during the frying process. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Whatever pan you use the oil needs to come up the sides to at least 1 inch. Fry the eggs turning them frequently until really golden brown. We ended up having to put some back in, even though they looked done, because the sausage on the inside was not cooked all the way. Another way to do this would have been to finish them in the oven, which is great if you are cooking in batches so they all stay hot, and it helps to drain the excess cooking oil. Enjoy.
