Scotch eggs make the perfect mid-morning meal. Baking rather than frying them means they are lower in calories and less messy to eat.
They taste delicious when dipped in homemade BBQ sauce.
1 medium white onion
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb pork sausage, unskinned
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp sage
6 hard-boiled eggs
1 beaten egg
2 tbsp poppy seeds
1. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
2. Very finely dice the onion and cook it gently in the oil for 5-10 minutes until soft but not colored, stir constantly.
3. In a bowl, use your hands to combine the onion, meat, Worcestershire sauce and sage. Season with salt and black pepper.
4. Divide the sausage mixture into 6 and roll each one out large enough to wrap an egg in. Tightly wrap each one around an egg until they are firm balls and chill for 15-30 minutes.
5. Dip each one into the beaten egg then roll in the seeds until coated then bake for 20-25 minutes until the meat is cooked through.
Makes six servings.
Each serving has 260 calories.
