When I saw pictures of those little quail eggs surrounding by meat I had to make some right away! I never heard about - or saw - Scotch eggs before... well I am more than happy that I have discovered them, they are so good!

Serving: 2   Prep Time: 20min    Passive time: 0min    Cook time: 30min   Kcal: 631   Net Carb: 7.5g

Ingredients:

350g minced meat (we use a mix of beef and pork)
16 quails eggs
1 chicken egg
3 tbsp cider vinegar
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp fish sauce
1 shallot, chopped
1 tbsp mix herbs
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/2 tsp paprika
200g arugula
4 cherry tomatoes, cut in 4 pieces
2 tsp olive oil
Salt and pepper

Direction:

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F.

2. Add vinegar in a pot of cold water and gently place the eggs in the water. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 3 minutes.

3. Rinse the eggs under cold water. This will stop the cooking and make your life easier when you will pill the eggs! Speaking about that... pill the eggs.

4. In a bowl mix meat, Worcestershire sauce, fish sauce, shallot, herbs, garlic, paprika, and salt and pepper. Mix well, go dirty and to it with your hands.

5. Divide the mix into 16 parts. This will ensure that you will have enough meat for all your eggs! I started by divided by two the mix, then two again, then two again etc... So that the different parts were more or less of the same size.

6. Flatten the meat, place an egg in the middle and wrap it. After 3-4 eggs done, I found it easier and easier to cover the egg totally.

7. Whisk the chicken egg and dip each egg ball in it.  At this stage you can roll the egg balls into bread crumbs or pork rind. I did not.

8. Place the egg balls in a baking dish and bake for 30 minutes.

9. Dispose 8 eggs on a bed of arugula with tomatoes and olive oil.
