A scotch egg is a British dish that consists of a soft boiled egg wrapped in sausage and covered in a herbed bread crumbs coating. Its then either baked or fried till the coating is crisp. I baked mine because home frying is a skill the eludes me.

Ingredients

• 1 pound pork sausage
• 4 soft boiled eggs
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tbsp fennel seed
• Salt/pepper
• 2 tbsp basil, chopped
• 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
• 1 cup panko bread crumbs
• 1 egg, beaten

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Place sausage, onion and garlic powder, salt and pepper and half your chopped herbs in bowl and combine well.
3. In two smaller bowls put the beaten egg in one and in the other put your bread crumbs and herb mixture.
4. Divide your sausage mixture into four equal parts. Flatten each sausage portion into a 4 inch circle.
5. Place an egg in the center of the sausage party and wrap the egg entirely. Make sure no egg shows through. Do all four eggs like this.
6. Dip each egg into the beaten egg bowl and let the excess drip off. Then roll in the panko and herb mixture.
7. Place each egg on the baking sheet a couple inches from each other. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown. Flip half way through to get even browning.
