|description=Scotch eggs made from a tube of Lincolnshire sausage meat from Bramblebee Farm and six Upwell eggs, nothing more.

===Best to make 5 Scotch Eggs, than 6!===
After making these a few time, I think it is better to use more sausage meat per egg. It's easier to 'stuff' the egg.

The [[Bramblebee farm]] Scotch eggs are really easy to make at home - if you can't get a tube of [[Bramblebee farm]] sausage meat, you can always remove the sausage meat from normal sausages. You'll need about 180g of meat for each Scotch egg.

Only use small or medium sized [[eggs]] or you won't have enough sausage meat to cover the Scotch eggs.

These don't need to be coated with anything providing you cook them on [[greaseproof paper]]. Or you could sit them on a patch of [[breadcrumbs]] or a square of bread.
