Baked Scotch Eggs
Baked Scotch eggs offer a twist on the classic British snack by using the oven instead of deep-frying. Hard boiled eggs are wrapped in seasoned turkey or pork sausage, then coated in bread crumbs. Baking creates a crisp exterior while keeping the sausage layer juicy, for a satisfying appetizer or picnic food.
