P.S: When buying sausages for scotch eggs, make sure you do a thorough check so you don’t buy any pinkish looking sausage like this. When sausage is cooked, it’s supposed to have a dramatic change in color from slight pink to a grayish cooked color. I probably had to learn the hard way after purchasing this product, cooking it for over 20 minutes and it still retained it’s pink tint. Although it actually depends on the sausage as some brands of sausages can still be pink no matter how much you cook them, It’s also very possible for sellers to put a little red food dye in the sausage to make the meat look more “attractive” when raw. In conclusion, if any sausage you intend eating still looks “RAW” after cooking for a while have it at the back of your mind that it has some additives that are not healthy for consumption. So, check the sausage you intend buying before using it. Since the wrong sausage was used for this post, it’d be taken down and remade very soon. Until then, it’d stay up as a guide to help you in your sausage search.
How to make scotch eggs
• Prep Time: 20 minutes
• Cook Time: 20 minutes
• Total Time: 40 minutes
• Makes: 8 scotch eggs
Tools you’d need:::
• Transparent plastic nylon or cling film
• Flat working surface/ chopping Board
• Rolling pin
• Frying Pan
• Mixing Bowl
Step 1: Get three bowls. Pour the all purpose flour in one bowl, Pour the bread crumbs in the second bowl, Crack open the 2 eggs in the final bowl and whisk – Set this aside.
Step 2: Place the 8 eggs in a pot of water and boil till you see cracks on the shell. By then you’ll know it’s hard boiled. Drain off the hot water and run the eggs through cold water immediately. This helps the shell come off smoothly. Remove the egg shell and set aside. 
Step 3: Place the sausage in a medium sized bowl and add salt, pepper and nutmeg. Mix thoroughly to combine, Then divide into 8 portions.
Step 4: Open up the plastic bag and place one portion of sausage meat. Close the plastic bag and roll out the sausage meat with the rolling pin. 
Step 5: Place one hard boiled egg in the center of the flattened sausage and mold the sausage around the egg using the nylon into a round ball.
Step 6: Roll the wrapped egg in flour, then dip in the beaten egg and finally dip in the breadcrumbs and coat generously. 
Step 7: Heat the cooking oil in a deep pan till very hot then gently lower the wrapped eggs into the oil. Leave to deep fry for about 7-10 minutes on one side, turn and do the same on the other side on low heat till golden brown while turning consistently.
Step 8: Remove the scotched eggs from the oil and drain on a paper towel. Leave to cool slightly then Serve!

For the sausage,is it raw sausage?and it is beef sausage? Where do I get breadcrumbs in Nigeria?
Thanks.
@Elodiego, yes it is beef sausage and yes it is raw. You can make your own bread crumbs using bread itself or the brown parts of a loaf. Take just a little quantity and tear into tiny shreads, oven dry then using your hands,or a blender or small mortar and pestle, you grind it into powdered form. You jave your bread crumbs.
pls y is d colour of your sausage meat pinkish
it's quite embarrassing to say, but i'd have to admit that the wrong sausage (more like fake sausage) was used for this.
Nice. I love scotch eggs. The image…enclosed makes me salivate already.
Hi elodiego, Anie is right but here's a little addition. Most sausages are made from minced pork meat and sometimes beef.
Glad to hear that Ebukah 🙂
These are so cute my boys would go crazy for them!
They sure will 😉
