Chorizo Scotch Eggs Recipes

Steps:

• Combine yogurt, chutney, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, curry powder, and cayenne in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Divide pork sausage into 6 even portions. Flatten each portion into a thin patty. Place one egg in the middle and wrap the sausage around the eggs, sealing all sides. Set eggs aside on a plate.
• Preheat air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place flour into a small bowl and beaten eggs into another small bowl. Place panko bread crumbs onto a plate. Dip each sausage-wrapped egg into flour, then dip into beaten egg, letting the excess drip off. Roll in bread crumbs and place onto a plate.
• Spray basket of the air fryer with cooking spray and place eggs into the basket. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary. Cook for 12 minutes, turning eggs over halfway through. Repeat with remaining eggs. Serve with dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Roll the eggs in flour.
• Lay 1/2 cup of sausage on a cutting board and flatten it so that it is 1/2-inch thick. Encase an egg in it. Repeat this with the remaining eggs and sausage.
• Shape the meat around the egg with your hands to make sure it is well sealed, then roll it in bread crumbs.
• Heat the grape seed oil and drop the eggs inches Cook for 10-15 minutes, until dark brown and crispy on the outside.
• Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Slice the eggs in half and serve.
• My Note: When I first went on a hunting trip in England some years ago, I was introduced to Scotch Eggs and fell in love with them forever. They were served in the greenhouse during "Elevenses" which is the break the hunters take between the first three "drives" and the last three. We drank cherry brandy too during elevenses. The British are civilized that way.
• I have been wanting to make Scotch Eggs ever since then, and after making a batch of chorizo sausage the other day, I decided I would use the leftover meat to make some Scotch Eggs for ya. This would make a great party food if you are looking for some inspiration.
• You will need: chorizo sausage meat (or ground pork seasoned with your favorite spices), flour, medium-soft boiled (5 minutes simmered) or hard boiled eggs (10 minutes simmered, whichever you prefer), grape seed or vegetable oil, and breadcrumbs (optional).
• Start by peeling your eggs.
• Roll them in flour.
• Take half a cup of meat per egg and shape it in a flat rectangle about 1/2-inch thick on a cutting board.
• Carefully roll the meat around the egg.
• And press it together at the seams.
• Press it together with your hands so it is compact.
• Now dip it in flour or in breadcrumbs. Breadcrumbs will make a more crunchy outer crust which is so nice. So if you have them I would go for it.
• Do this to all of your eggs and line them up.
• In a skillet, heat your oil. I use grape seed oil because it has a more neutral flavor.
• Drop your eggs in carefully and let them fry on all sides.
• You'll let them simmer for 10-15 minutes, rotating them gently so that they stay smooth.
• Remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon onto paper towel.
• Cut them in half carefully and serve 'em up.
• My eggs are hard boiled but I prefer them a medium soft boiled, slightly harder than runny. They will cook more as they fry anyway.
• These are delicious and a great party food! Give them a try my friends.
