Cooking Recipe
The recipe for scottish eggs is very simple. Boil six eggs in boiling water over low heat for 8 minutes. Put boiled eggs under running cold water, and then gently peel. Grind the ham in a blender or in a meat grinder, mix with finely chopped anchovies, salt and pepper. Pour the breadcrumbs, flour and, also separately, the lightly beaten remaining eggs into separate bowls.
Divide the ham into 6 equal parts so that you can use the scales more accurately. Spread the ground ham in the palm of your hand, place the boiled egg in the center and wrap the ham.
After eggs, roll in flour, remove excess flour.
Beat the remaining eggs with a fork, dip the eggs in the Scottish way after flour. Make sure the beaten eggs cover the flour well.
Then roll the eggs in bread crumbs. If before that there are areas with flour on the eggs, then the crackers do not stick.
Prepared scotch eggs deep-fry for no more than 4 minutes. Eggs must be turned over periodically, otherwise the shell may burst.
