An item apparently becoming more popular in England now that some pubs there are being required to provide a "substantial meal" with the booze they serve. As I understand it, a Scottish egg is boiled, then sprinkled with ground meat or sausage and topped with bread crumbs or even crisp kale.
Anyone ever prepared or eaten a Scottish egg? If so, I could use a go-to recipe so I can try it...

I've never made them myself but I do enjoy them!
Last time we were in London we were at a market that had a vendor selling several flavors of Scottish eggs and they were delicious.

Aren't they eggs inside a sausage ball rolled in bread crumbs and deep fried?

Aren't they eggs inside a sausage ball rolled in bread crumbs and deep fried? Yes. The sausage has to be rolled out into a flat, pancake-like shape to be rolled around the egg.

Very common and popular in England/UK. However, I have never before heard them called scottish Eggs ... they are simply known as Scotch Eggs.

My wife who has had Scots eggs in GB and a number of places in the US...... confirmed/reminded me that if Bertha's Mussels in Baltimore, is still in business .....IHHO..... they are excellent. I think I Know what is for dinner tonight as I just got through making hardboiled eggs for general consumption. 😉😄

Here's a thought. Isn't your 'scrapple' similar to sausage meat? If so, why not use it as a substitute, just roll it all round your hard boiled egg, roll in bread crumbs to coat it, and either deep fry it, or bake it. You could call them Maryland Eggs.

Actually that might be an interesting experiment. However, scrapple contains a fair amount of cornmeal which generally doesn't lend itself to being molded. Fact is it takes a practiced hand to slice it 'just so' that the slab doesn't break apart before it hits the pan. I and my wife have cut up many a block of scrapple over the years and it is a rare occasion when all the slices stayed together. That is when we have scrapple burgers with a fried egg on top. 😆

Mince/mash/grind (whatever you call it) the scrapple first, maybe with a beaten egg in it, then mould that around your boiled egg and continue with recipe. Simples!

Well maybe if I happen to have some left over some day. I usually have 4 or so hardboiled eggs in the frig at all times. If I try it I'll let you know. I just got an Instant Pot and I want to try this recipe first: recipes.instantpot.com/recipe/scotch-eggs/
