Ingredients:

• 6 large eggs
• 1 lb. ground pork sausage
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp. dried thyme
• 1 tsp. dried rosemary
• 1/2 tsp. paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Cooking Instructions:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Place the eggs in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes.
• Remove the eggs from the pot and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool. Once cooled, peel the eggs and set them aside.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork sausage, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper.
• Divide the sausage mixture into six portions.
• Flatten each portion of sausage mixture into a patty and wrap it around one of the boiled eggs, making sure to completely cover the egg.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs and flour.
• Roll each sausage-wrapped egg in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs stick to the sausage.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Once the oil is hot, carefully place the Scotch eggs in the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
• Transfer the Scotch eggs to a baking sheet and bake in the oven for an additional 10-12 minutes, until the sausage is cooked through.
• Let the Scotch eggs cool for a few minutes before serving.
