Many thanks Helen, for getting back to me, and so quick. I will deep fry from now on.

Hi Tony. Well basically your problem is that you can’t bake a scotch egg – it doesn’t taste as good anyway plus you need that immediate seal from the hot fat, which will keep all your meat together. It’s the baking that’s done it because the egg couldn’t hold itself together.

Thank you for the Blog. My mother will make Scotch eggs for friends.
She ’swallow fry’s’ them….Well I have just made 8 Scotch eggs and put them into the oven, (340 for 40 mins) was called for. I put plenty of meat around them, but horror of horrors, when it came time to take them out of the oven, all of the meat had “split”, exposing the eggs. Still they tasted great, but not good for show at a party! What did I do wrong?

Hi, do you definitely want to serve them warm? I’ve bought scotch eggs at fairs and festivals before and they’ve always been cold. If you do want to serve them warm the I will have to put the thinking cap on!

I’m thinking I might need 1000 of them…..could prepare them on a Thurs & Fri to use on Sat at a
fair. I’m looking for info on the best way to do this. For example after cooking say on Fri can they be reheated
in any way…….microwave, grill ??? on Sat? Thanks to
anyone for any help.

Hi jean – I’m not really understanding your problem here – can you give me some more details please? If they’re not needed at the same time, why don’t you just do them in batches? I’m guessing you just need a lot of oil and a lot of help!

How can you make several hundred Scotch eggs?
These would all be needed on the same day but
not at the same time.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Now that’s one thing I haven’t tried making. Sausage rolls yes, but not scotch eggs. You’ve convinced me to try!
