Vegetarian Scotch Eggs

March 11, 2013

Scotch eggs, a London favorite, are a super tasty snack.  For this vegetarian version, the hard boiled eggs are coated in breadcrumbs and spices before being deep fried.  They are delicious for breakfast and great to pack for a picnic.

Preheat the oven to 325°F/170°C.
Bring to the boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 4 minutes.
Cool in cold water before peeling.
Whisk the remaining egg.
Combine the chopped herbs with the breadcrumbs and season.
Fry the eggs until golden, turning occasionally so as not to burn - about 2-3 minutes.
