A Scotch egg is a boiled egg coated in breadcrumbs and baked or deep-fried.

The recipe appeared in the first edition of the same book in 1805. They did not, at that time, have a breadcrumb layer, although by 1861 Isabella Beeton suggested this as an option. The 'Oxford Companion-to-Food' speculates that the origin may be Indian koftas.

1

Take a White Poultry Egg and boil it for half-an-hour. Set aside once done.
2

Next, take a non-stick wok and in it, pour enough cooking oil of your choice for deep-frying.
3

Once the oil in the wok reaches its boiling point, gently release the previously boiled egg.
4

Deep-fry the egg to its entirety (I.e., until it turns reddish-brown).
5

Add a pinch of Black pepper powder and your Scorch-Egg is ready to consume. You might serve this delectable side dish with a platter of piping-hot rice, paratha, or chappati.
You can even have it all by itself with Ketchup dip.
