Baked Scotch Eggs!

Cameroon style scotch egg

I'm not a fan of boiled eggs but when it comes to eggs rolled in dough and served with 'sweet' pepper sauce then I'm a huge fan! There's just something about scotch eggs. They put the 'e' in the eggs. Lol

So recently I had a huge amount of eggs sitting in my fridge. While thinking of what I could do with them, I remembered scotch eggs. Oh scotchy!

When I made and served them to hubby, he was so in love. So few days after, he requested that I make another batch. I transitioned from deep frying them to baking them. They are healthier and still taste great! Let's start cooking. Shall we?

Prep time: 30 mins
Cook time: 20 mins
Total time: 50 mins
Makes: 4 scotch eggs

Ingredients needed:

4 eggs
1 cup of flour
One quarter teaspoon of baking powder
1 tablespoon unsalted butter/margarine
One quarter teaspoon garlic powder
One quarter teaspoon white pepper
Salt to taste
*Could add other seasonings as needed

Method
-Boil eggs for about 20 mins. Remove from heat and plunge in cold water shell and wipe with paper towel and set aside.

-Rub in flour, butter and all seasonings until the mixture looks like fine bread crumbs or garri.

-Add a little water and mix dough until it forms a non-sticky ball.

-Roll out dough on a floured board. Then use something round to create circles on it.

-Place an egg on a circle and wrap it well. Be sure to close the edges well so they don't open up while baking/frying.

-Place eggs on a greased tray and bake (on a greased tray) at 350 Degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes or till golden brown.

*I had a little dough left and I baked it too so it gave me this:

NOTES

If you would love your egg to have a glossy look, brush with some beaten egg before baking.

What is originally called scotch egg is egg rolled in ground sausage/meat/fish, flour, egg and deep fried. I haven't tried that version yet. I will bring you the recipe when I do.

Enjoy!
