How to cook Eggs in Scottish (minced meat cutlet)
A Scottish egg is a British dish that is a boiled egg inside minced meat, rolled in breadcrumbs and deep-fried. There are also mini-versions of this dish already with quail eggs. Traditionally served with salad.
To prepare a light version, I took minced chicken, but there are options with minced pork.
Step-by-step recipe

Place 8 eggs from the refrigerator in cold water and cook for 4 minutes. for a more liquid center, or 7 min. if you want a fully cooked yolk. Then put it in cold water and leave for 10 minutes. |
