Smoked Scotch Eggs

These smoked scotch eggs offer a sophisticated, wood-fired twist on a classic British picnic staple. By gently smoking the sausage-wrapped eggs over pecan wood, the pork develops a deep, savoury profile that perfectly complements the soft-set yolk. This dairy-free version relies on high-quality pork mince and a punchy spice rub to deliver maximum flavour without the need for traditional breadcrumbs or deep-fat frying.

Ideal as a hearty snack for outdoor gatherings or a unique starter for a weekend lunch, these eggs are as impressive to look at as they are to eat. Chilling the eggs before smoking ensures the meat stays intact, while the low and slow heat creates a beautiful mahogany finish. Serve them sliced into quarters with a side of tangy barbecue sauce for the ultimate homemade treat.

Ingredients for Smoked Scotch Eggs

  • 6 huevos grandes

  • Ice water

  • 450g pork mince

  • 1 cucharadita de sal

  • 1 cucharadita de pimienta negra

  • 1 cucharadita de ajo en polvo

  • 1/4 cucharaditas de pimienta de cayena

  • Barbecue Rub #67

Put the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Let rest for 15 minutes to warm them up before cooking. (This will help keep them from cracking.) Over high heat, bring the eggs to a boil, rolling them around in the pot frequently. When the water begins to boil, start timing and cook for 2 minutes, continuing to roll the eggs around in the pan. (This will keep the yolks in the centre.) Remove the eggs from the boiling water quickly and submerge them in ice water to stop the cooking. When the eggs are cool, peel them and refrigerate.

Put the pork in a medium bowl and add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne. Mix well and then divide the sausage into six equal portions. On waxed paper, flatten out one of the portions to a 4-inch circle. Top with an egg and wrap the sausage all around the egg, stretching as needed and sealing it completely. Do this with all the eggs and then season them liberally with the rub. Put the eggs on a pan lined with wax paper and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Prepare your cooker to cook indirectly at 113°C using medium pecan wood for smoke flavour.

Place the eggs on a grill topper or directly on the cooking grate and cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

Transfer the eggs to a plate and let cool. Cut them in halves or quarters and serve with barbecue sauce for dipping.
