I just made this recipe to try out for a breakfast item for a tailgating football event we are going to. It is awesome! I had the same issue as others where I fried them and then finished them off in the oven at 400° for about a 1/2 hour. I only had panko on hand and that worked great. I also used one pound hot and one pound of regular breakfast sausage to add some kick & doubled the recipe ingredients (except for pepper). Using two pounds of sausage, I was able to make 11 scotch eggs. Next time I will probably be able to squeeze out about 14.

Excellent recipe, as good as I remember from New Zealand. As per another reviewer, the outside cooked too quickly, leaving a couple of pink spots by the egg. Had to microwave a couple of minutes. Served with sliced tomatoes and colcannon from this site, for a nice light dinner.

Thanks for the delicious recipe. These are a great idea for breakfast, brunch or even dinner. Since I had maple sausage on hand, I used that and omitted the Worstershire sauce. I also browned lightly and then baked them the rest of the way. Served these for Christmas breakfast and they were a big hit with the family.

I have made these ever since my grandmother in law from Haddington Scotland taught me how. Only difference in recipe is, I use 1/2 original and 1/2 hot sausage.

We'd had friends visit from England and recommend scotch eggs, these did not disappoint! Very tasty and pretty quick to whip together. We baked them at 425 for 45min turning once and served with spicy mustard. Excellent!

I had these at a Renaissance Festival. SO wonderful! I was actually craving them days later and found this recipe. The ones I'd had didn't have the bread crumb coating. It makes them taste even better!!! Baking them (turning once) on a broiling pan helps get rid of some of the fats. Spicy brown mustard or sweet jams are good for dipping depending on your personal tastes. Great for brunches.

I mix half sausage and half turkey together and it's not as greasy. After covering the egg i roll it in crushed pecans and bake them at 325 for 40-45 min. yummy!

Very Good. Best to cut in fours and serve with a yellow mustard sauce

I used Maple Sausage from a bag because I had it already and needed to use it - but it was really good. The sausage was for me wasy to form around the hard cooked eggs. I served it for dinner - but to me - it would make a better breakfast meal. It deserves a special occasion - I will probably make them again

These didn't cook right in the time alotted but that was probably my error. They were too brown on the outside and were raw around the egg..I ended up putting them in the oven to finish, but they really tasted good!

Fantastic...just like I remember in an old english pub! I did try to "stretch" the recipe and used 6 egss instead of just the 4--perfectly fine. Thanks for a great addition to my recipe box!!
