Recipe for "eggs-scotch"

NAME

     EGGS-SCOTCH - Hardboiled eggs in a sausage/oatmeal crust
     Scotch eggs are great as appetizers, lunches or  dinner!   I
     took  this recipe from my Mom's collection, but I'm not sure
     where she got it.

INGREDIENTS (makes 6)

     6         eggs, hard boiled
          COVERING
     500 g     sausage meat
     40 g      rolled oats
     15 ml     mustard
     1 ml      black pepper
          COATING
     100 g     bread crumbs
     2         eggs, beaten

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Preheat oven to 200 deg. C.
          (2)  Make the covering: mix all ingredients  thoroughly
               and divide into six portions.
          (3)  Cover the eggs: uniformly cover each  hard  boiled
               egg with its portion of the sausage mixture.
          (4)  Bread the covered eggs: roll  each  egg  in  bread
               crumbs,  then  into  beaten egg, and once again in
               bread crumbs.
          (5)  Set eggs  on  a  cookie  sheet  and  bake  for  15
               minutes.   Turn  them  over  and  bake  another 15
               minutes.
          (6)  Serve sliced in half.

NOTES

     Scotch eggs are delicious either hot or cold.

RATING

     Difficulty: moderate.  Time: 30  minutes  preparation  after
     eggs  are  hard-boiled.   Precision: approximate measurement
     OK.
