Divide the sausage meat into four portions and wrap one portion around each egg.

Halve eggs and serve with vegetable crisps and piccalilli.

Boil four eggs for 5 minutes, then cool in iced water for 10 minutes and peel.

Fry sliced vegetables in batches for 2-3 minutes until crisp and season with salt and pepper.

Fry the Scotch eggs for 7-8 minutes until golden and drained on paper.

Heat a deep-fat fryer or heavy saucepan with oil to 160°C.

Coat eggs in seasoned flour, then beaten egg, then breadcrumbs before chilling for 30 minutes.
