This recipe for mini Scotch eggs is from my own cookbook A Wee Taste Of Scotland which is packed with fun Scottish party food recipes.
Quail eggs
I use quail’s eggs for this recipe. I love these little eggs, my daughter used to adore them when she was little and ask for them for her bear’s picnics. Not sure that the bears or other toys ever ate them but all I ever got was a pile of shells to clear up so I suspect she loved them then as much as she does nowadays.
Ingredients;
- 12 quail eggs
- good quality sausage meat
- fresh thyme
- salt and pepper
