SCOTCH EGG SIMPLE, QUICK, AND TASTY.Hey, guys. Our simple dinner today is all about Scotch Egg that is simple, quick and tasty. I decided to make this Scotch Egg today, because I have been on a look out for a good looking dinner which I can make in bulk and we can easily pack for lunch and this Scotch Egg is just one of those that meal that is so easy and portable candidate for boxed lunch.
This Scotch Egg is seriously very easy to make. Although you will have messy hand from handling the meat, don’t just give up yet, because making it is soooo worth it. This recipe will yield 7 Scotch Eggs and the left over meat, you can just form into ping pong sized balls and fry them and now you have tiny meat balls.
I have shared so many Meatball Recipes in the blog like this Ground Chicken Breast with Mozzarella Cheese, Large Batch of Barbecued Meatballs and even Salmon Meatballs so you might want to check them out too.
This Scotch Eggs start with large amount of ground meat.I made a little variation from this recipe SO instead of using sausage meat, I used lean beef meat on this and I add the rest of the ingredients. I suggest that you precook the egg ahead of time, so that it will be cold to handle when you form the balls. Also the ingredients are very accessible that you are can easily make it in whim.
If I have my way, I will be posting all Filipino food in this blog like the Filipino Adobo, Bicol Express and Pinakbet but I can only post enough Filipino food, so I try to cook food fro different countries and make tweak them a little to adapt to my Filipino taste buds. SO BE INFORMED THAT THIS SCOTCH EGG has some of Filipino twist in it. So pardon me should I call it FILIPINO EGG?????

Chicken is ok, but beef, I think it will have some beef- fy smell on it, which I don’t like , so I don’t recommend it

Hi 🙂
It looks amazing!
Do you think it will be okay to substitute the ground pork, with a ground chicken or ground beef?
Thanks! 🙂
