A Scotch Egg is a traditional British savory snack consisting of a hard- or soft-boiled egg encased in seasoned sausage meat, coated in breadcrumbs, and deep-fried or baked. Believed to originate in England during the 18th century, it is often served cold as a picnic food or warm with accompaniments like salad or dipping sauce. While rich in protein from the egg and sausage, its nutritional profile is mixed. The eggs contain essential vitamins and healthy fats, but the sausage typically contributes high salt and fat content. The breadcrumb coating and frying process add calorie density and reduce overall healthfulness. Opting for baked versions or pairing with nutrient-rich sides can make it a more balanced option. Popular for its unique texture and savory flavor, Scotch Egg remains a comfort food staple, celebrated across the UK and beyond.
