WICKLEWOOD'S GLUTEN FREE SCOTCH EGGS
Scotch eggs are another favourite of mine that I can no longer enjoy since being diagnosed with coeliac disease., however, I have combined my two favourite scotch egg recipes and developed a whole new gluten free version...As usual ordinary breadcrumbs and sausage meat can be used if making a non gf version. The double dipping adds an extra layer of breadcrumbs and therefor more crunch. To make the whole process a little less messy, try placing sausage meat mixture portion on some Clingfilm, flatten it out slightly and use the Clingfilm to cover the egg in the sausage. For the seasoning, simple salt and pepper works fine, however, I always use my own seasoning mix recipe #440608. For a healthier alternative try omitting the frying and cook completely in the oven, however, don't forget to increase the cooking time an extra 5 mins to compensate.

Tips for Making the Best Gluten-Free Scotch Eggs
- Use high-quality gluten-free bread. Not all gluten-free breads are created equal. Some are crumbly and dry, while others are dense and heavy. Look for a brand that is light and airy, with a good texture.
- Don't overwork the meat mixture. Overworking the meat mixture will make the scotch eggs tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Use wet hands to form the scotch eggs. This will help to prevent the bread crumbs from sticking to your hands.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the scotch eggs. If the oil is not hot enough, the scotch eggs will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
- Cook the scotch eggs until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the scotch eggs should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the scotch eggs warm or at room temperature. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a dipping sauce.
