A Scotch Egg is a traditional British snack consisting of a hard or soft-boiled egg wrapped in sausage meat, coated in breadcrumbs, and then deep-fried or baked. It is often served cold and can be found in pubs, picnics, and as part of a buffet. The origins of the Scotch Egg are debated, but it is believed to have been created in the 18th century. It is commonly enjoyed with condiments like mustard or piccalilli and is a popular choice for outdoor gatherings and celebrations.
