Default Plan Ahead Breakfast Idea [Scotch Eggs]

Something that I do is hard boil my eggs & let them cool, then I peel them. Take about 1/4 lb of uncooked bulk breakfast sausage & wrap the sausage around the egg. (Use a bit more if the sausage is a more fatty) So, in essence, you have a really big hard-boiled egg filled sausage ball.

Put it on a cookie sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven until the sausage is cooked. Lay them on a paper towel to drain a bit, then I wrap them in some foil & put them in the fridge. I make 4 or 5 at a time & they're great for breakfast! I make these before I go camping; makes it really easy for breakfast.

Note that you cannot freeze these, unless you like your eggs rubbery & generally icky...

Let me know what you think if you try them!

Pax

Question: do you eat them cold, or reheat? If so, in what/how (can't use foil in a microwave.)

You can remove them from the foil & heat them in the microwave. I prefer to eat them cold, myself.

Hi! Pleased to meet all of you....congrats on progresses you have made.
I have reduced carbs and gotten on an exercise program and have come down 21 pounds total since January. Guess I'm not in a big hurry

I have been reading some of the delicious recipes posted here, and I am just amazed at the variations. This is great. Your sausage and egg recipe sounds yummy...in parts of Europe I think they call it a "Scotch Egg"....I'm going to try it!

These Scotch eggs are amazing... I know that this is from 2003/04, but I just found it, and I tried them last night with Jimmy Dean sausage!! I LOVED them hot out of the oven, this morning I tried one cold, and it wasn't as good, but still a nice snack!

The next time I make them, I will do it when I am hungry so that I eat 2-3!!! VERY GOOD!!!

I purposely picked up some sausage yesterday just to try this Scotch eggs recipe today. I'll let you know how it turns out, though I'm planning to modify it slightly - I'm going to take the boiled eggs and cut them in 1/2 before I wrap them in sausage to bake - I think it'll be a more manageable size for me, though I'm not sure what the effect on the egg will be, since the sausage presumably takes X amount of time to fully cook, and the amount of egg it encases will be smaller/less dense?

Anyway, I'll let you know how it turns out.

YUM!!! I made these yesterday, no problem with slicing the hard boiled eggs in half and doing them that way. I've only tried them warm so far and they were YUMMY.

Only thing I thought of, as I was eating one, is wouldn't this be an EASIER dish to prepare if I just served sliced boiled eggs over a sausage patty? Much less labor intensive, same taste?

I make a slightly different version. I hate solid egg white, so I make a modified egg salad using some cream cheese instead of mayo to make a more "solid" result. I then wrap the sausage around balls of the egg/cream cheese/seasonings mixture. It turns out pretty well.

Ive got a thing about the texture of cooked egg white, semi cooked egg white. If it isn't blended into the yolks, I can't stomach it (I know I'm wierd)

My daughter is the same way. If I make scrambled eggs I have to add water or cream and blend super well so there is no separate white in there anywhere. The texture just grosses her out.

Can y'all give me a ballpark idea of how long to bake the eggs with the sausage wrapped around 10 mins, 20, 20? I think I will cut the eggs in half lengthwise. Thanks!
