The old fashoined idea of fried scotch eggs has long gone there are healthier ways of making Baked herbed Scotch Eggs, they are tasty as well as healthier. I tend to use a Cumberland sausage bought in a roll rather than conventional sausages.

It is a very tactile recipe and it is difficult to get it done wihtout getting your fingers messy, but Lorrainne Pascuale recommends that you wrap the hardboiled eggs already dipped in flour in squashed sausage meat in cling film.
