    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!pre-signature-pro
