Instructions
To start the recipe, Bring some water in a pot to a boil. Gently place the quail eggs in the boiling water, and allow to cook for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes, immediately place the quail eggs in a bath of ice water to cool.
Allow the eggs to cool for 5 minutes.
While the eggs are cooling, mix the ground pork, 2 tbsp breadcrumbs, bullion, white pepper, thyme, sage and oregano and set aside.
Peal the eggs gently, and set aside.
Divide the sausage into 11 equally sized ball portions, it should be about the same size or maybe a little larger than the eggs.
Flatten one of the sausage balls into an oval-shaped pattie. Gently shape the meat evenly around the egg, being careful not to press too hard. If you find that the eggs are slipping a lot, coat them in a little bit of flour to prevent them from slipping.
Once all the eggs have been wrapped in sausage, set them aside, and set up a breading station: set up three shallow bowls, one with flour another with almond milk and the last one with bread crumbs.
Roll the sausage wrapped egg in the flour, shake off any excess, dip into the almond milk, then roll again in the bread crumbs.
Repeat this process until all the eggs have been breaded.
Heat up the oil in a fry pan on medium heat, until it is about 350ยบ Fahrenheit, and fry the scotch eggs until they are golden brown on each side.
Cool for 5 minutes and serve.
Notes
If you do not have a thermometer to check the temperature of your oil, simply use a piece of bread to test the heat. if it is hot enough, the bread will sizzle, and start to gently turn golden brown.
