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."
Divide the sausage into six portions; flatten and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Shape each portion around a peeled hard-boiled egg. Roll in beaten egg, then in cornflake crumbs. Place on a rack in a baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 30 minutes or until meat is no longer pink, turning every 10 minutes.

I made Scotch Eggs for lunch 11/09/19. I used Panko crumbs instead of cornflakes and browned the coated eggs in a bit of oil before baking them. My family loved them!

These turned out delicious but I had to make a few changes because I didn't have bulk sausage. I used plain ground pork and then added a few more spices; thyme, sage, nutmeg and the pepper. I followed the method exactly as written. We all liked them and I will be making them again soon.

I love scotch eggs. I tried this recipe because of the cornflake crust. They were quite tasty. The coating was crisp which was a nice texture.

They really don't turn out at all like the picture and they have a peculiar taste.

This is a wonderful recipe that I have been making for years - best baked, not deep fried. I use medium eggs, form a meat patty on your hand, place egg on meat patty, wrap around the hard boiled egg, covering completely with meat, dip in egg & roll in the crumbs. Bake on my broiler pan & they are wonderful. Always make 1 doz. or more as they go fast! Taught a cooking class to grade school children & they loved them & it was easy for them to make. Always get compliments when I take or serve them for a brunch.

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.
