Scotch egg is a fried meatball made of minced meat or sausage meat, stuffed with soft boiled egg. A scotch egg is similar to meatball and meatloaf, which are ground meat shaped into different sizes and shapes. Coated with bread crumbs, a scotch egg is usually deep-fried or baked. The crispy shell, savory meat and the runny egg yolk, scotch egg is the best snack for picnic. Small variations, like mini scotch eggs, savoury eggs, picnic eggs, party eggs, snack eggs, egg bites and so on are available in supermarkets, snack bars and groceries.
