SCOTCH EGG WITH GIN AND TONIC CRÈME FRAICHE
While the scotch egg as we know it today is actually said to have been created in Yorkshire, we’ve drawn from the wealth of growing independent Scottish brewers, to bring you this vegetarian Scotch egg with gin and tonic crème fraiche.
Ingredients
MUSHROOM MIX
- 113 g Castle MacLellan Oven Roasted Mushroom Pâté
- 1 handful of parsley chopped

Instructions

Mix the pâté, parsley and breadcrumbs together in a bowl and set aside.

Place a medium-sized pan of water on to simmer, add the eggs to the water and cook for 6 minutes. Cool under running water.

Carefully peel the eggs.

Spread the mushroom mix onto some cling film and top with cling film. Roll out to approximately 4mm thick.
