Scotch Eggs
Product:
Vortex Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 7 large eggs
- 700 g sausage meat
- 1/2 tsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp mixed herbs
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp plain flour
- 65-70 g breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Hard or soft boil 6 eggs (depending on whether you’d like the scotch eggs a little runny or not)
- In a mixing bowl, mix the sausage meat, soy sauce, mixed herbs and freshly ground pepper.
- Prepare three deep plates: – 1 for the beaten egg, 1 for the flour and 1 for the breadcrumbs.
- Weigh the sausage meat and divide the weight by 6 (approx. 115g) then split the meat into 6 portions, then peel all 6 eggs.
- Place 1 of the 6 portions of the sausage meat onto a chopping board and flatten.
- Dip one of the eggs into the flour then place it on the meat and carefully wrap the meat around the egg shaping into a ball. Dip the meat ball in the flour, then the beaten egg, and coat with the breadcrumbs and reserve on a plate whilst you repeat for each egg.
- Once all eggs are ready, select the Air Fry function, and programme the temperature to 180℃ and the time for 10 minutes. Allow the Vortex to preheat before adding scotch eggs to the basket.
- Turn the eggs carefully when prompted.
- When the time ends, turn the scotch eggs again, select the Air Fry function once more and programme the temperature to 205℃ and the time for 4 minutes.
