Craving a unique, savory breakfast? Make Scotch Eggs!

Scotch Eggs are a breaded brunch favorite featuring hard boiled eggs wrapped in sausage. They’re often deep fried, but to keep the mess to a minimum they can also be baked. The crunch of the coating will not suffer whatsoever!

Scotch eggs are best enjoyed with a dipping sauce, like the maple mustard sauce included below. And it never hurts to throw on a little chopped Italian parsley for color and presentation. The sauce is sweet, tangy and delicious. Don’t skip it!

Make a batch of Scotch Eggs for the week, or bring them your upcoming Easter gatherings.
