Perfect food for a Super Bowl party

With the Super Bowl parties around the corner, here is an unusual recipe, that your friends with love, Scotch Eggs.

You will need 4 eggs, that will make 8 halves.

1 pound of sausage meat,

1 extra egg,

breadcrumbs,

cooking oil.

This is quick and easy to make. Firstly hard boil your eggs in a saucepan of boiling water. Once boiled, put them into a container of cold water, to cool them down. Next divide the sausage meat into quarters. Take one quarter and roll it out. Repeat this with the other 3 pieces of sausage meat.

Remove the hard boiled eggs from the water, crack and peel them. Place an egg in the middle of each of the pieces of sausage meat. Flour your hands and then roll the sausage meat around the egg. If there is extra sausage meat where it joins, just give it a little squeeze and spread the meat evenly around the egg.

Beat the extra egg with a fork, and then brush the outside of the sausage covered egg with the beaten egg, then roll it in breadcrumbs.

The Scotch Eggs then go into a frying pan, with hot oil, and should be cooked on both sides for 7 to 10 minutes. The perfect color should be a golden brown. An alternative cooking method is to put them on a greased pan, coat the top and sides of them with cooking/canola/vegetable oil, and put them in the oven at 375 degrees, for approximately 35 to 40 minutes. Again they are cooked when they are a golden brown in color.

When the Scotch Eggs are cold, they can be cut in halves for a main dish, or cut into quarters or eighths for party food. Both Scotch Eggs and Sausage Rolls, are the food that we had at football, oh sorry, 'soccer parties', back in England. These go down great with beer, or a few glasses of wine.
