The ingredients for Vegetarian Scotch Eggs are:

1 pound fake ground beef
2 raw eggs, beaten, in separate bowls
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cups finely minced onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and pepper
flour for dusting the eggs
4 eggs, hard boiled, peeled and patted dry
1 cup fine bread crumbs

Here is how you make Vegetarian Scotch Eggs:

In a large bowl, mix the “meat” with one of the beaten eggs, the olive oil, onion, garlic, sage, thyme, cayenne and salt and pepper to taste. Pulse the mixture briefly in a food processor until it just begins to hold together (I like to leave it a little bit chunky for added texture.)Put a small amount of flour into a bowl. Dredge the hard boiled eggs lightly in the flour and then dust off the excess flour with your fingers. Using about 1/4 of the “meat” mixture, pat the mixture around one of the eggs, completely enclosing the egg in the mixture. Set aside on a plate. Repeat with the remaining eggs and then transfer the plate to the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour or more.When you are ready to bake, place the second beaten egg and the bread crumbs in two small bowls. Dip the scotch eggs into the beaten egg wash and coat well. Transfer the egg to the bowl of bread crumbs and coat on all sides. Shake off the excess bread crumbs and place the scotch eggs on a nonstick or well-oiled baking sheet.Bake the scotch eggs in a preheated 350 F degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes until golden brown (you may want to turn the eggs a few times during cooking to ensure even browning.)Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user RAMPANTPANDA.
