Recipe Description

Elevate your classic Scotch egg with this luxurious twist. Smoked salmon adds a delicate, smoky flavor to the traditional sausage meat filling.

Ingredients

For the Filling:**

• 200g pork sausage meat
• 100g smoked salmon, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Coating:**

• 6-8 large eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 egg, beaten
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

1. Hard-boil the eggs and peel them.
2. In a bowl, combine the sausage meat, smoked salmon, Dijon mustard, dill, salt, and pepper.
3. Cut each hard-boiled egg in half lengthwise.
4. Divide the sausage mixture into 6-8 portions and wrap each around a half egg, sealing the edges.
5. Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten egg, and one with breadcrumbs.
6. Dip each sausage-wrapped egg in the flour, then the beaten egg, and finally the breadcrumbs, ensuring it is fully coated.
7. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
8. Fry the coated eggs in batches for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
9. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
10. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as aioli or tomato ketchup.

Tips

• For a richer flavor, use a high-quality smoked salmon.
• You can add other herbs and spices to the sausage mixture, such as chives or paprika.
• For a healthier option, bake the Scotch eggs in the oven instead of frying them.
