Hi Friends!
Today we’re talking about one of my all-time favorite foods- eggs! If you follow me on any form of social media, you’re probably well aware that I eat eggs pretty much every single day. They’re healthy, versatile and I just never seem to get sick of them!
So the first recipe I cooked up for you guys are these Baked Scotch Eggs.
Eggs are one of my go-to breakfasts and snacks for Squish. He’s a fan of them pretty much any way I cook them but I’m always looking for new ideas. He’s also a growing boy. And he eats a lot. It actually truly baffles me how much he can eat for such a little person. But I’m doing my best to feed him real, well-balanced meals and snacks. Lately, I’ve been focusing a lot on breakfast and making sure to give him a protein-packed plate to kick off the day.
This recipe definitely fits the bill and it’s fairly simple to make.
Here’s how you do it:
PrintBaked Scotch Eggs
- Yield: makes 6 eggs 1x
Ingredients
- 6 hard cooked eggs
- 1 raw egg
- 1 pound ground chicken (you could also use ground sausage)
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup flour
- guacamole for dipping (optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine chicken, garlic and spices and mix to combine.
Divide chicken mixture into 6 parts. Dip hands in flour, then mold 1/6 of the chicken mixture around each hard boiled egg.
Set up dredging station – put flour on a plate, egg in a bowl and breadcrumbs on another plate.
Roll each meat-covered egg in flour until lightly coated. Dip in egg, turning to coat and then roll in panko breadcrumbs.
Place eggs on a greased or foil-lined baking sheet.
Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes, flipping/rotating once.

I’ve never seen eggs prepared this way before. They look incredible. Thanks for sharing!
William loves eggs too!!
I first saw Scotch Eggs on a cooking show months ago and I’ve been meaning to track down a recipe! Thanks for doing the work for me. I’m looking forward to making these.
enjoy!!
Thoughts on making this paleo? Almond flour? coconut flour? Have you tried either?
the breadcrumbs are mostly for a little crunch so maybe grinding your own almonds in a food processor? not quick to the point of almond flour but pretty coarse…just to give a little crunch?
That is brilliant! Guess what we are having for breakfast this weekend!
Holy yum! I just found out that not all eggs are Pasteurized, I kind of thought it was an every brand thing like milk but I was wrong. Dietitian FAIL. This recipe is super creative and looks delicious I’m definitely going to try it!
hope you love them!
We eat eggs almost every day. I’m trying to masted poached eggs. These baked scotch eggs would be the perfect way to change up the whole breakfast for dinner routine we have around here! Love that they are baked!
yay! they’re perfect for breakfast or dinner!
I’ve never heard of eggs this way- they look awesome! And I hear you on the hungry toddler… both of my girls ate SO much as toddlers, while some of my friends kids barely touched their food. I can’t explain it either- but it’s easier than worrying if your kid is eating enough!
This sounds pretty cool! Headed over there to read & find out more! Those eggs look amazing!
I’ve never even heard of Scotch Eggs, but they sound absolutely fantastic! I’m really intrigued by these, and now that you add guacamole… YES.

Those look great!
Lindsey, I am so excited to give these a try and to see what other fabulous egg recipes you create.
Lindsay,
These look so great! I loved boiled eggs, but this is taking it to a whole new level. Can’t wait to give it a try 🙂
I’ve been looking for a good brand of pasteurized eggs. I wasn’t able to find them at a couple grocery stores near my house. I’ll have to see where to find these!
Scotch eggs are one of my favorite bar snacks, but I always feel like they are so HEAVY. This baked version is perfection!
This is definitely a food trend I’m seeing on menus everywhere in 2016. My bf loves them so I’m excited to try a baked version.
Ok I’ve been so meaning to try scotch eggs. THIS is my recipe! We are totally an egg-loving family. Every day for breakfast. NOW I have a new way to prepare them! Thanks girl!
This is a lovely breakfast recipe and its really cool to make..
