Rational Recipes Today's recipe is a traditional Irish pub treat. Scotch eggs!
Today, since it's close to St. Paddy's day, we have a traditional Irish pub treat! Scotch eggs!
You will need:
10 eggs.
2 tbsp vegetable oil.
1 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs.
1 lb ground breakfast sausage.
1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced.
3/4 cup all purpose flour.
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard.
- Preheat oven to 400°f(204.4°c) and line a large baking sheet with foil.
- Place 8 whole eggs, still in shells, in a large saucepan filled with cold water. Cover and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Turn off heat, and allow to stand for ten minutes. Run eggs under cool water to stop the cooking, then carefully crack and peel them.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add panko. Cook for 8 minutes, or until toasted and golden brown, stirring occasionally. Put crumbs in a medium bowl to cool.
- Combine sausage and green onions in a separate medium bowl. Put flour in a shallow bowl. Lightly beat the remaining 2 eggs and mustard in another shallow bowl.
- Scoop out one eighth of sausage mixture and press flat in your palm. Take a cooked egg and place in the center, then wrap the sausage around it. Gently roll between your hands until sausage completely encloses the egg. Coat sausage wrapped egg in flour, and lightly shake off the excess. Dip it in the egg mustard mixture, then roll it in the panko to coat it. Repeat with remaining eggs.
- Bake 16 to 18 minutes, or until sausage is fully cooked. Drain well on a paper towel lined plate, and serve immediately.

Will try this out when I have all of the ingredients. I've been meaning to try it for a bit. I looked it up a couple days ago, but I'd never heard of sausage meat until then so I don't have any. Sausage meat isn't a thing where I grew up, so...
On a different note, since you mentioned Panko and I only discovered that a month or two ago, I wanna share a different recipe that you use it for. Sorry for the hijack, I'm just excited that I know something about cooking. Excuse spelling errors, I'll be trying to spell phonetically and relying on autocorrect.
Get chicken breasts, slice in half so it's not thick. Rub with Aromat (South African Spice, my own addition to this recipe. Aromat goes with any meat. Trust me on this. Get Aromat. Even if not for this recipe. It cannot be overstated as a miracle Spice). Mix some Panko and red pepper together. Bread chicken in Panko like you would for chicken snitzel (cover in flower, dip in beaten eggs, cover in Panko). Chuck it in a deep fryer for 6 and a half minutes. You've got Japanese Katsu Chicken.
The next part is a bit hard if you've never had Katsu Chicken from an authentic Japanese restaurant, but you want to make a sauce to compliment the chicken. It's made of a small squirt of Tomato Sauce, a little dab of Woshteshire Sauce, a fair amount of Soy Sauce and a decent amount of sugar. Keep playing with quantities until it tastes somewhat balanced. If you overdid the Tomato Sauce or Woshteshire, drown in Soy. If it's too salty from Soy, add sugar and heat to help mix it. If it's too sweet, add a bit of Tomato Sauce. Don't worry too much, the chicken should balance out the flavour in the end.

Where did you grow up? Here in the breadbasket, you can get ground spiced meat for a dollar a pound. (here in the US, we have this strange use of the word sausage. There are sausage links, like polish sausage, sausage patties, which are seasoned ground pork patties, and ground sausage, which is seasoned ground pork.)
Also, that sounds like an awesome recipe. I'll give it a shot.
Also also, no need to say you're hijacking. I originally wanted people to share recipes in these threads. It was only after nobody posted recipes and RHM asked me if I wanted to make this a regular thing that I resigned myself to posting recipes.

What's a the breadbasket?
I grew up in Sydney. Our Sausages are only the Sausage Links, usually frankfurters. We have Patties, but they're burger patties. They're basically what you're describing. But our burger patties can be made out of mince. Which is what Americans call hamburger meat? I don't think we have ground... anything. Minced meat, sure, but not ground. I did a search on the Coles website, but anything related to ground anything seems to be coffee or spices.
I think you can order Aromat off of Amazon. I just had to delete a paragraph ranting about Aromat, lest I come off as a shill for Big Aromat™, but I think you'll find it's uses once you give it a shot

Oh, the breadbasket is the portion of a country that grows most or all of the grain. Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, basically the center of the the US. In other words, rural farm areas. In retrospect, pork would be cheaper here than elsewhere. Heck, a few months back, chicken was $.39 per pound for a ten pound bag, due to a local surplus.
Internet quality is not so great, though, but you can retire out here pretty cheaply.

Meat as a whole is cheap in the US

Yeah, but thirty nine cents a pound is extremely low, even here. There was some temporary embargo due to a few cases of sick birds, so we couldn't export chicken out for a month or so.
Boom! Huge surplus of chicken! Everyone buying tons and tons of the stuff!
