Bramblebee Farm Scotch eggs
Best to make 5 Scotch Eggs, than 6!
After making these a few time, I think it is better to use more sausage meat per egg. It's easier to 'stuff' the egg.
The Bramblebee farm Scotch eggs are really easy to make at home - if you can't get a tube of Bramblebee farm sausage meat, you can always remove the sausage meat from normal sausages. You'll need about 180g of meat for each Scotch egg.
Only use small or medium sized eggs or you won't have enough sausage meat to cover the Scotch eggs.
These don't need to be coated with anything providing you cook them on greaseproof paper. Or you could sit them on a patch of breadcrumbs or a square of bread.
