What is a scotch egg made up of?

* A hard-boiled egg: The core of the scotch egg.

* Sausage meat: Usually pork sausage meat, but other varieties like chicken or vegetarian sausage exist. This is wrapped around the egg.

* Breadcrumbs: The sausage-coated egg is then coated in breadcrumbs for a crispy texture.

* Optional additions: Some recipes might also include a layer of flour or batter between the sausage meat and the breadcrumbs.

Scotch eggs are typically deep-fried until golden brown and crispy, but they can also be baked or pan-fried.
