Hot Scotch Eggs

1. 1

   Mix mince and spices together by hand.

2. 2

   Encase one shelled hard boiled egg in mince mixture.

3. 3

   (I've had questions about the amount of meat -- you are aiming for bigger than a baseball and smaller than a softball in total size).

4. 4

   Dip uncooked Scotch Eggs in beaten egg then gently roll in bread crumbs until coated.

5. 5

   Refrigerate for 45-90 minutes.

6. 6

   Bake for 45-60 minutes in a 400 degree oven, until bread crumbs are browned (the fat expressed by the mince alone is partially absorbed by the breadcrumbs, allowing for a beautiful browning and flavor).

7. 7

   Allow to rest five minutes if serving hot, can also be served traditionally cold.
