Scotch eggs are a classic British dish consisting of a soft or hard-boiled egg encased in seasoned sausage meat, coated in breadcrumbs, and deep-fried or baked until golden and crispy. Originating in 18th-century England as a portable snack, they are often served cold or warm as part of picnics, pub menus, or appetizers. While Scotch eggs are rich in protein from both the egg and meat, they also contain significant amounts of fat, particularly if fried, as well as cholesterol from the yolk. For a healthier variation, they can be baked instead of fried or made with leaner sausage substitutes. Paired with fresh salad or vegetables, they can serve as a hearty, satisfying meal. However, due to their calorie and fat content, Scotch eggs are best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
