Quail Scotch Eggs Recipe

INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. Place the eggs in a pan large enough to fit all of them in one layer, pour water into the pan just so that it barely covers the eggs. Bring this to a boil, making sure to stir gently (this helps center the yolks). Simmer for four minutes and then drain. Place the eggs in cold water, then crack the shells very gently and cool to room temperature. Rie mentioned that the trick to making sure the peel comes off easily is to leave the cracked eggs in the cold water for a few minutes.
  2. Combine the minced chicken, herbs, mustard and season with salt and pepper in a bowl and divide the portions into 12 so that you have enough meat for each of the quail eggs.
  3. Drain the eggs and then carefully remove the shells. Toss the eggs lightly in the flour and then shape a portion of the chicken mince mixture around a quail egg. Continue to do the same for the remaining eggs. (Tip: keep your hands lightly floured to make the shaping easier.)
  4. Dip each egg in the beaten egg, then into the breadcrumbs. Just before serving deep-fry the eggs in hot oil until well browned and then drain on absorbent paper.
