Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 6 minutes. Drain and cool under cold running water.
• STEP 2.Peel the eggs and set aside. In a bowl, mix together the chorizo, breadcrumbs, parsley, and paprika. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions.
• STEP 3.Flatten each portion of the chorizo mixture in your hand, then wrap it around one of the boiled eggs, ensuring it is completely covered. Repeat with the remaining eggs and chorizo mixture.
• STEP 4.Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 180°C (350°F). Carefully lower the scotch eggs into the hot oil and fry for 4-5 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
• STEP 5.Serve the Chorizo Scotch Eggs warm or at room temperature, with a side of your favorite dipping sauce.

Cooking Tips

• Make sure the eggs are fully cooled before wrapping them in the chorizo mixture to prevent the sausage from melting.
• You can experiment with different types of sausage or add additional spices to the chorizo mixture for extra flavor.
• Serve the scotch eggs with a side salad or pickles for a complete meal.

Storage and Serving
