BBQ’s and Scotch Eggs are not items I would have put together. Both of these items I associate with summer. Therefore as we are still in ‘officially’ Spring time I thought I would make a BBQ scotch egg. It satisfied our cravings for picnics in the park and BBQ’s in the garden. These were so tasty and we will definitely be eating a few this Spring, Summer and hopefully into Autumn as well.
What are your favourite Summer time foods and what do you look forward to eating the most? Let me know in the comments below and please don’t forget to like and follow me.

- Scrunch these ingredients together in your hands.
- Once everything is mixed together split the mixture into four parts.
- At this point you may need to wet your hands again.
- Grad a piece of the mixture and flatten it in the palm of your hand.
- Put the egg in the middle and then wrap the meat around the boiled egg.
- Set this aside and repeat the process for the other eggs.
- Once all the eggs are covered in the meat put the rest of the ground almonds into a small bowl.
- Roll the meat covered egg in the ground almonds and repeat the process.
- Once all the scotch eggs are covered in the ground almonds put them onto a plate.
- Put the plate into the fridge for at least two hours or overnight.
- When ready to cook preheat the oven to 180°C or gas mark 5.
- Cook the scotch eggs for 25 – 30 minutes or until the juice run clear from the pork.
- Remove from the oven and serve with chips and beans or salad.
- Then enjoy.
BBQ Scotch Eggs were a delicious dinner we all enjoyed. They were easy to prepare and cook too. I accidentally took too much mince pork out of the freezer so I made a few extra for leftover the next day. I have to say they were delicious hot or cold. These scotch eggs would be good as part of a packed lunch or taken on a picnic as well. They should be made and eaten on the day or the day after. I would freezer these either. However you decide to eat these scotch eggs, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
