Scotch eggs

After making the little version of scotch eggs with quail eggs i wanted to try the proper version, with big eggs, bread crumbs, and deep frying. That was very good and very filling! Next time I will try a mix of my two recipes of scotch eggs: with regular size eggs but bake in the oven instead of deep fried.
