Recipe Note
Refrigerated hard-boiled eggs that are made a day or two ahead of time will peel more easily.
You can substitute the same amount of another grated dry cheese like Romano or Manchego for the Parmesan cheese in the recipe.
Sausage blends vary in fat content so if you feel that your sausage blend is drying out you can lower the heat level to 200º Fahrenheit/9º5 Celsius and adjust your smoking time as needed.
Scotch Eggs are usually served cold. After cooking, transfer to a plate and cool them down in the refrigerator. Cover with plastic wrap. They will keep up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
Aluminum saucepans react negatively with vinegar or citrus juices and produce off flavors. Use stainless steel pans or enameled pans wherever possible.
