Giant Smoked Scotch Eggs

ingredients

  • 4 large, free range eggs
  • 8 – 10 of your favourite sausages (I used A&O’s Kielbasa)
  • 4 thick slices of your favourite black pudding (I used my butcher’s own)
  • 16 slices of dry cured, smoked bacon
  • A few tbsp of your favourite rub
  • A few tbsp of your favourite BBQ sauce for glazing
  • Some cling film for shaping your sausage meat

Directions

  1. Prepare your eggs. If you want a hard boiled egg, pop them in simmering water for 10 minutes, remove and place in a bowl of iced water to chill completely before peeling. If you’d like a runny yolk repeat as above but reduce the time to about 6 minutes.
  2. Take care when peeling, as the eggs will be delicate, and you don’t want to lose that yolk! I used 2 large sausages per egg as the kielbasa I use are huge, but depending on the size of yours you may need a bit more. It works out at roughly 220 – 250g of sausage meat per egg. 
  3. Using a sheet of cling film, press the sausage meat into a disc big enough to comfortably surround your egg.  You don’t want to be doing too much moulding and shaping when it comes to the softer eggs, so be generous.
  4. Crumble/smoosh/cube a slice of black pudding and cover the surface of the sausage meat.  As I said earlier, you can also combine it with the sausage meat if you’d like, its entirely up to you.
