Scotch Eggs from Kelli’s Kitchen
First I want to show you a pretty cool creation and then repurpose by Mr. Picky Eater.
Lawyer Boy and Minnie Mouse wanted arbors incorporated in the wedding but did not want to pay the $1,000 to rent two. Lawyer Boy felt his dad could “figure it out” so he took his dad to the store and bought what his dad felt he would need:
With no plans, patterns, or instructions they built it:
Here it is on the day of the wedding all stained, draped and beaded waiting on the bride and groom:
On Tuesday, while I was at a conference – again, with no plans, patterns, or instructions Mr. Picky Eater made this for the kids from the arbor as a remembrance of their wedding day.
On Saturday, he made this one for me!
A few weeks ago, Mr. Picky Eater took me to dinner at a great restaurant called Chips ‘N Ale’s. It is an English style pub located inside the Riverwind Casino located in Norman, OK. They also have one in Winstar Casino located in Thackerville, OK. The biggest reason I like it is because I can have fish yet it offers other choices for the picky one of us. A side note is that there are only five Mr. Picky Eater-approved places to eat. Period. This is a new one so we are expanding our horizons a bit! We had the most amazing appetizer – I could not believe he liked it either. He is the opposite of “Mikey who likes everything”. I had eaten the dish in the past but in a very different way and certainly not as an appetizer. I have prepared my best rendition of what we ate that night.
Scotch Egg Appetizer
Ingredients:
2 hard boiled eggs
1 package of sausage – I used “hot” for a little spice
Bread crumbs – they use Panko but I don’t care for them so I used regular
½ cup flour
1 egg beaten
½ Cup Mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons Sriracha
Scotch Eggs from Kelli’s Kitchen
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 350 F.
Hard boil the eggs.
Peel and let them cool completely.
Pat sausage out into circle.
Place egg in the middle and wrap sausage around it.
Cover in flour.
Dredge through beaten egg.
Cover in bread crumbs.

Place in pan, I used a small iron skillet I got at a yard sale for 50 cents. **most people deep fry them and I believe the restaurant did as well, I just preferred them baked**
Cook for 45 minutes turning once. Be careful not to “tear” the coating.
While Scotch eggs are cooking mix Mayo and Sriracha adding a dash of cumin and some parsley if desired. Let it sit in fridge until ready to serve.
After eggs come out of the oven, put them on a paper towel and allow them to cool a little.

Using a very sharp knife quarter eggs and place on serving dish.

This is good warm or at room temperature. Mr. Picky Eater was glad that I recreated it today because as he was building me the bench – he got hungry and enjoyed the beer too!!
wowee–that looks so good! Have enjoyed a Scotch egg or two in my time, but never thought to make one myself. Am impressed 🙂 And also thrilled that there are now six Mr. Picky Eater-approved eating establishments on your list. Yay!
You should try it – It wasn’t hard and they taste great!
Scotch eggs are typical pub food in the UK (and go great with a pint of ale!) but I have never thought to make them at home because I really do try to avoid deep frying. I love that you baked them and they look crunchy. I need to give this a try when I am home and can buy Jimmy Dean. We love the “hot” too.
What a great idea for the reusing the arbor wood! He may be a picky eater but he is very talented.
Yep, Jimmy Dean is our favorite too! AND – the are crunchy!!
Mr Picky Eater is so talented, I can’t believe it is without any instructions!
Also your scotch eggs are so cute, I have never seen them before 😀
Cheers

Thanks CCU! He is one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever known (that’s why I married him).
I thought the arbor was so wonderful and then to have keepsake benches made from it is just inspired.

He’s a big old softie – came up with it all on his own! 🙂
He may be picky when it comes to eating but Mr. Picky is not only talented but so sweet to make the keepsake benches. The scotch eggs were a nice thank you…they look good.
Thank you Karen – I get to pass along all the nice comments to him. He wouldn’t want anyone to know but he loves hearing it! 🙂
Oh, wow – Love the repurposed bench & the scotch eggs 🙂
Thanks CJ – hope all is well with you!!
Things are crazy but the hubs is finally here so he can look for a place for us to live … and get out of this silly hotel 🙂
I know you are hating hotel life – Home is a nice comfortable place, as soon as you find it!
Yum. I love scotch eggs! And I love the benches, too! Great job on both the recipe and the repurpose!
Thank you! Glad you are feeling better OR are enjoying the pain killers! 🙂
I am amazed at the wonderful benches! What a clever idea.
I’ve never had Scotch Eggs before, but this looks like something I can do. Soon.
Thanks!
Love the arbor but LOVED how he made the bench from the arbor! We love us those handy men don’t we?
Those Scott eggs look interesting. I honestly don’t recall ever seeing them on any visit to the UK. My husband is from the UK. He *thinks* he’s had them but can’t remember…
I might have to try them. Thanks for posting it!
I’ve been curious for sometime about this Scotch eggs. This is something to try one of these days. I’m sure that the hubby is going to be pleasantly surprised. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Kelli. 😉
I really want to try this–those eggs look amazing! I love your new bench too–how nice to have someone so crafty around!
Thank you and yep, it is REALLY nice! Thank you for dropping by and please come again!
I’m glad you liked the pins! I went over to your site and since you are on RecipeNewZ and I am a pinner for Elana, I picked a few that looks so delicious! The pin board has so many followers that it always increases traffic at least some. I knew that sugar-free pie would go like crazy because people love specialty recipes!
thanks so much!
I’ve yet to try Scotch Eggs, but I’m sure it would be something the family would love! Thanks for sharing at Simple Supper Tuesday.
Wow I’ve never had these before! I will give them a try for our next gathering, my hubs loves eggs! Thank You for sharing! Came over from Hun..what’s fro dinner party! have a great week!!
Thank you so much for dropping by and please come by again. I bet your husband loves it!
Mr PE and Lawyer Boy did an amazing job on the Arbors. And, Mr. PE did an awesome job on the benches. They’re really impressive! Mr. Cheapy McCheaperson does stuff like that, too. One day, after hiding in the basement for a few hours, he came upstairs with a new cabinet for my fishtank. He made the plans himself and built it from reclaimed wood from pallets. I couldn’t do it, haha.
I had never heard of these eggs until a month ago. I started seeing them all over pinterest! I’m intrigued, and am definitely going to have to give them a try. Spicy mayo? Yes, please!
Sounds like your husband is a bit shy about talking and then failing, like my husband – but not me! I will talk it to death and then if I fail, shrug it off and move on. 🙂 Scotch eggs are a really old recipe and Pubs in the UK have them all over the place – didn’t know they were on pinterest………huh, i will have to go look!
I like Scotch egg (quite a bit), over here they sell them in stores small and large. The small ones have like scrambled egg in them while the larger ones (and my favourite) have the whole egg!
So – Dave, they scramble eggs and then put the sausage around the eggs and then bread them? That sounds WAY better!!
Yeah the small ones Kelli are scrambled eggs placed in sausage meat and cooked. They are quite nice, but the bite of a whole egg is much better
I have never been to either place but have been by both often! These look delish! The arbors look so professional and I love the extra presents.
Why thank you! The kids are back from Napa Valley – where they had their honeymoon and were just too tired to pop over to see it. Later this week we hope!
Wow- your scotch eggs look great! I have been so intrigued by these things but keep putting off making them for some reason. Mr Picky Eater sure looks like quite the handy man. That arbor and bench are fantastic!
My friend Dave from the UK gave me an idea about making some that are smaller with scrambled eggs inside – that sounds really cool!
They do- are you going to post it?
Yes, disaster or not – I will post. Probably make them this weekend when Rocket is here. That boy LOVES scrambled eggs and sausage! 🙂
I can’t wait!
I’ve heard of Scotch eggs but have never actually tried one. What do you mean you don’t like Panko?? 🙂
I know, I’m weird – I hate to sound like a 5-yr-old but I don’t like the texture.
I haven’t had a scotch egg for years! I will have to try this, it looks so easy. Just need to convince my hens to start laying some eggs!
I grew up with about 100 chickens on our ranch and we had these (the whole thing) all the time. It sure did help hide all those tattered egg whites I made while peeling – teenagers, huh? Thanks for dropping by and please come again!
These look delicious. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for dropping by Mary! Please come again.
