Hot Scotch Eggs

Total Time: 55 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

• 1 lb hot sausage (bulk, not links)
• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 tablespoon sage (dried, crushed)
• 2 teaspoons thyme
• 3/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 egg (beaten, to coat prior to bread crumbs)
• 4 eggs (hard boiled)

Recipe

• 1 mix mince and spices together by hand.
• 2 encase one shelled hard boiled egg in mince mixture. (i've had questions about the amount of meat -- you are aiming for bigger than a baseball and smaller than a softball in total size).
• 3 dip uncooked scotch eggs in beaten egg then gently roll in bread crumbs until coated.
• 4 refrigerate for 45-90 minutes.
• 5 bake for 45-60 minutes in a 400 degree oven, until bread crumbs are browned (the fat expressed by the mince alone is partially absorbed by the breadcrumbs, allowing for a beautiful browning and flavor). allow to rest five minutes if serving hot, can also be served traditionally cold.
