Scottish Egg ..hmmmm

One day I was watching The Office ( love it) and I saw Keith eating something looks like a 'coxinha' (brazilian snack) but I was sure wasn't that ... so, later I found out that this delicious little ball is Scottish Egg.

Recently I had the opportunity to try at Old Crown pub 33 New Oxford St, London WC1A 1BH.

I didn't eat the egg because I have a little problem with the melt yolk, but the pork meat is such amazing.

This is the recipe, just in case you like to cook for your friends this summer:

Preparation method

1. Place the eggs, still in their shells, in a pan of cold salted water.
2. Place over a high heat and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to simmer for exactly nine minutes.
3. Drain and cool the eggs under cold running water, then peel.
4. Mix the sausage meat with the thyme, parsley and spring onion in a bowl and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper (Simon recommends being generous with the freshly ground black pepper).
5. Divide the sausage meat mixture into four and flatten each out on a clean surface into ovals about 12.5cm/5in long and 7.5cm/3in at its widest point.
6. Place the seasoned flour onto a plate, then dredge each boiled egg in the flour.
7. Place each onto a sausage meat oval, then wrap the sausage meat around each egg. Make sure the coating is smooth and completely covers each egg.
8. Dip each sausage meat-coated egg in the beaten egg, rolling to coat completely, then dip and roll into the breadcrumbs to completely cover.
9. Heat the oil in a deep heavy-bottomed pan, until a breadcrumb sizzles and turns brown when dropped into it. (CAUTION: hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended.)
10. Carefully place each scotch egg into the hot oil and deep-fry for 8-10 minutes, until golden and crisp and the sausage meat is completely cooked.
11. Carefully remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
12. Serve cool.
