Divide sausage into 6 equal portions. On a lightly breadcrumb-sprinkled surface, pat out each portion to about .25cm (1/8 in) thickness. Wrap portions completely around each of the hard boiled eggs, pressing edges together to seal.

Dip sausage-coated eggs in beaten egg, then roll in breadcrumbs. Place on baking tray and bake in preheated 190 C / Gas mark 5 oven until lightly browned, about 25 minutes.
Tip:
To prevent the eggs from rolling around on the baking tray, stick cocktail sticks through the eggs at an angle pointing downwards.
Love these, my mum has made these forever-nice to have a recipe I can follow now! Lovely with chips and veg, or salad.. Love the idea of mixing things into the crumbs too! Yummy
Easy to do, but instead of beaten egg, I used a knorr stock cubemade into a paste with olive oil before rollinf in breadcrums. This makes a fabulous savoury crunchy coating!
I prepared this recipe using egg mayonnaise (chopped egg, mayo, dijon, cayenne pepper, salt) as I've always disliked the whole egg scotch eggs; hard boiled egg is boring. Unfortunately this resulted in them splitting open in the oven. Any ideas on how I can prevent this from happening?
Really tasty, much better than shop bought ones. Will add some herbs or chilli to the sausagemeat next time for a bit of a kick. Hubby loved it (and he doesnt like scotch eggs!)
Just made this and they turned out lovely. I added a lot of coarse ground black pepper and a couple tablespoons of Worcester sauce. Think next time I'll add a splash of Tabasco sauce just to give it an extra kick.
The sausagemeat I used was Richmond sausages. It's very smooth, so if you like a coarser sausagemeat, probably best to use Cumbrian or butchers own.
Cheers for the recipe!
This was an easy recipe to follow and the results were lovely. I have made these twice and both times they were a huge sucess with all of the family, thanks for sharing
