Hot Scotch Eggs

Directions

1. 1
   Mix mince and spices together by hand.
2. 2
   Encase one shelled hard boiled egg in mince mixture.
3. 3
   (I've had questions about the amount of meat -- you are aiming for bigger than a baseball and smaller than a softball in total size).
4. 4
   Dip uncooked Scotch Eggs in beaten egg then gently roll in bread crumbs until coated.
5. 5
   Refrigerate for 45-90 minutes.
6. 6
   Bake for 45-60 minutes in a 400 degree oven, until bread crumbs are browned (the fat expressed by the mince alone is partially absorbed by the breadcrumbs, allowing for a beautiful browning and flavor).
7. 7
   Allow to rest five minutes if serving hot, can also be served traditionally cold.
