HF, yes, the initial cooking time and the additional cooking time when frying is the part I am trying to balance, that and the white being set enough to peel the egg while holding together.

Try four minutes at a boil for those softer centers.

Don't forget that the heat from the frying penetrates and cooks the yolks a bit more.

Oh wow!
I haven't made Scotch Eggs in years!
And now I have four Brown Shavers supplying 3-4 eggs a day, what a great idea for lunch boxes!
I belong to the 'just set' not hard boiled school, so its a wee bit of fiddling and time to get them 'just-right'.

Brican, I am not that fond of hard cooked/hard boiled eggs, I really prefer them about as your post shows them
How did you get them to that stage of doneness?

Looks like an interesting place, Melissa. I assume they're a regular restaurant as well as doing all that catering?

I suspect I don't like COLD hard boiled eggs, but hot is ok. I love scrambled eggs.

They were appetizers at this local Irish pub: http://www.pignwhistleatthegrove.com/ I saw that, and said "Hey, aren't those the Scotch Eggs from the FOTW board?" So it's thanks to this board that I tried them.

Sometimes, Melissa, there are things we don't care for in their "raw" state that we find delicious when processed into something else.

Friend Wife, for instance, claims to not like eggs. Turns out, what she doesn't like are eggs that look like eggs (does that make sense?). So, while she won't eat a plain hard-boiled egg, she devours these Scotch eggs.

To put a point on it, she loves Ceasar salad, with the original dressing. And that uses a raw egg (or, nowadays, a slightly coddled one).

I'm glad you found another taste treat to enjoy.

I've never heard them called Irish eggs before. Where were they served that way?

I just got to try these, although they were called "Irish Eggs." They were delicious, and I don't even LIKE hard boiled eggs!

Even as a vegetarian, something about Scotch Eggs called to me.  I attempted a vegetarian version once using a "fake meat" (I never usually eat "fake meats" as I grew up without them and find them to be odd...if you miss meat so much, eat it!).  It wouldn't hold together, probably because of the lower fat content.  Now that I have finally taken the plunge into the meat eating world, and am for the most part, enjoying it, I'm going to have to give these a shot!
