How to Make Scotch Eggs

Simple Scotch Eggs

Scotch eggs are made by wrapping fresh minced meat around an egg and frying it until golden brown. This traditional version is quite labor-intensive, so we provide a simplified version here. For the complex version, please search online.

The simplified Scotch egg is made by wrapping a soft-boiled egg with cheese and bacon in a flaky pastry sheet, then frying it until golden brown. It takes approximately 20-30 minutes.

Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★★

Ingredients and Tools

  • Eggs
  • Flaky pastry sheets
  • Cheese
  • Bacon
  • Air fryer or deep fryer

Quantities

For one serving

  • Eggs: 50g (approximately 1 egg)
  • Flaky pastry: 1-2 sheets (depending on egg size)
  • Cheese slices: 1-2 slices
  • Bacon slices: 1-2 slices

Instructions

  • Place eggs in a pot of cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for 3 minutes, then remove.
  • Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool quickly, making peeling easier and keeping the shell intact.
  • Wrap the peeled eggs with cheese slices.
  • Wrap the cheese-covered eggs with bacon slices.
  • Trim the edges of the flaky pastry sheets to form a rectangle large enough to wrap the eggs.
  • Fry in oil at 60% heat (indicated by slight movement on the oil surface, faint blue smoke, and bubbles forming around a chopstick inserted into the oil) until golden brown.
  • Alternatively, use an air fryer at 160°C (320°F) for 15 minutes.
  • Slice and serve.

Additional Notes

  • Cheese slices, bacon slices, and flaky pastry sheets can be purchased on Taobao.
