April Bloomfield’s Scotch Eggs

In the fifth season of the Netflix series Mind of a Chef, an entire episode is dedicated to the egg: one of the simplest ingredients that the most renowned chefs can’t get enough of. From a quick egg on a role (a quick sandwich with fried egg and bacon) from New York to boiled eggs in curry sauce, sourced from storm petrels on the Faroe Islands. And also the very best Scotch eggs from star chef April Bloomfield.

In this video, April Bloomfield shows how to make the most delicious Scotch eggs, which she herself describes as a breakfast in one bite. At the center is a perfectly boiled egg surrounded by a mixture of ground meat and herbs; sage in this recipe. The ball is coated in egg, flour and breadcrumbs and then deep-fried. Perhaps not the healthiest breakfast, but incredibly tempting.
