Scotch eggs
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. We'll be making hard-boiled eggs stuffed with a potato-meat filling and coated in crispy cornflake crumbs. You can prepare the filling in advance and even shape the stuffed eggs without breading them ahead of time. Then, just before serving, fry them in hot oil for a couple of minutes. This is a really great dish that's definitely worth trying at least once. Serve the finished dish immediately.
