Supermarket Scotch eggs

[robfosters]

I recently started heating them up after eating them cold since basically forever. Another use for the old Air Fryer, just chuck em in and wait 5 minutes. Does make quite a bit of difference. What is everyone's scotch egg eating procedure btw? I will cut it in half, then into quarters, then fork the egg quarters first and eat them, then go after the meat quarters. On the odd occasion I will be a savage and eat one like an apple, but this is very rare. I only shop at Asda, so make do with their range, alternate between the Lincolnshire and Cumberland varieties.

I’m a very simple guy. Just cut in half and spread a nice helping of English mustard on, a dash of salt and finish off with a squirt of smooth pickle

Anyone attempting making these themselves?

Yes my brother has. I'm sure he won't mind my sharing the shots.



Now, before anyone says anything about those yolks, he is of the school that prefers harder yolks rather than hipster soft ones

 

[robfosters]

They look mighty fine tbh.

I eat it like an apple.

Love the Sainsbury's taste the difference ones. Tesco's premium offering is pretty good too. Though the quality of those has ruined the budget ones for me: just can't stomach them any more

English mustard is the definitive scotch egg experience.

A guy in the village has a business selling them, forget the name. A bit pricey but always good with a nice soft yolk.

Best Scotch Eggs are from a local farmer's market (the black pudding one's are sublime), but in the supermarket I always go for these

Cut in half, remove the egg

Fill resulting orifice with HP sauce

Replace egg

Enjoy

I once was certain that Scotch eggs were the work of Satan himself but have come to appreciate them more as time progresses. I mostly eat the Sainsbury's taste the difference ones. They are a tad bland but an ends to a means. They give a nice energy boost even though they are probably made of ears, snouts and sphincters.

I have to. You won't find them out here. I've made chicken egg Scotch eggs and quail egg Scotch eggs. I also prefer a softer egg.

Was considering it, but will make them runny middle, which is our favourite as a few restaurants we visit.

Same here.

Can get a bit messy but i don't care.

Also @Lysander those Scotch Eggs look perfect to me.

I buy the standard Tescos 4-pack weekly, now it costs less than two 2-packs (£1.65). Makes at least two substantial meals.

Post fail.

Tesco's standard - actually quite decent for what they are.

Just had a couple of Tesco standard and yes they are not bad, got them on the reduced isle 43pence for two, can't go wrong.

This thread inspired me to give the Tesco ultimate ones a go.

Cut it half little smear of chilli jam, phwaor just what my hangover ordered.

Like an apple, but dipped in salad cream.

Post is worthless without pics of your missus's recipe!

I'm going back at least 3-4 years now but I recall I had a go at making them myself at home from scratch. For my first (and last) ever attempt I was pretty impressed. The hardest part is shelling the egg whilst still soft.
