Scotch Eggs

Wow, this week is flying by isn't it? Maybe the Snowquester/Snow Day here in DC helped a little yesterday.  Plus I'm a little on the sick side, but I'm in total denial.  I'm really trying not to slack on my training for the Nike Women's Half Marathon coming up in the end of April here in DC.  I want to get a good racing time and kick some butt.

Love this sign!

Nonetheless, with all of my free time on Wednesday, I had a fun time making some delicious recipes I've been wanting to make, but haven't had the time.

Since it's getting closer to spring and hard boiled eggs will be sooooo in, I made an appetizer called Scotch Eggs that I discovered at a pub called Daniel O'Connell's in Old Town Alexandria.

The server had suggested them as an appetizer and I sort of doubted him because I wasn't sure what to expect.  I am so glad I went with it and gave them a try.  I could eat these delicious eggs as a meal instead of an appetizer.  And they go really well with honey mustard sauce.

Plus they're not as hard as they look.  I cheated a little by purchasing pre-made hard boiled eggs to cut the time. 

I'm not going to post the nutrition content because I don't feel it's necessary. It's eggs wrapped in yummy pork sausage so it's not going to score any points on being super healthy, LOL.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup of vegetable oil for frying on the stove
6 hard boiled eggs
1 Bob Evans Breakfast Sausage- Original Flavor (12 oz)
1/4 cup flour
3/4 c. bread crumbs
3 eggs beaten
1/4 c. dijon mustard
1/4 c. honey

1.  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2.  Place the vegetable oil in a large frying pan and turn on the stove to medium heat.

3.  Flatten the sausage like a cookie and so that it can wrap around the whole hard boiled egg.  Before wrapping the sausage, sprinkle a little flour on it and then wrap it around the egg.

4.  Using a brush, coat the outside of the sausage egg with the beaten egg.

5.  Roll in bread crumbs to coat evenly.

6.  Place in the large frying pan and repeat for the other 5 eggs.  Rotate the eggs in the frying pan so each side is brown and cooked.

7.  Take the eggs out of the pan and place them on a cooking sheet.

8.  Cook the eggs in the oven for 10-12 minutes.

9.  While the eggs are cooking, mix together the dijon mustard and honey as the dip.

10.  After the eggs are fully cooked, cut them in half and serve them with the honey mustard sauce. 

Doesn't this represent the feeling you had in your first car? 

REPRESENTING.



Only 1 more day and it's the weekend!
