A crispy coating made with cornflakes and pork sausage gives a different treatment to these hard-cooked eggs. "They're fabulous hot out of the oven," notes Dorothy Smith of El Dorado, Arkansas. "Or enjoy them cold for a snack before a soccer or baseball game."

These are called scotch eggs and are usually deep fried, but doing them in the oven would be so much healthier. Thanks for the directions. Oh and yes I agree with the others.....small or smallest in eggs are the best to use.

 I've been using peewee eggs for scotch eggs, AND devilled eggs. They're just the perfect size, but not easy to find. Ask your egg seller at the local farmers market.

I do not use salt and pepper. I also use medium size eggs as they are easier to wrap the sausage around rather than large eggs. I put the crushed cornflakes on wax paper and then just roll the egg around. I found that easier than using a separate bowl.
