Giant Baked Chicken Scotch Eggs | Indian Nargisi Kofta Recipe | ChefDeHome.com (2024)

Chicken Main Course

Just in-time for weekend, sharing one delicious way to eat MORE eggs for Sunday Brunch with these Giant BAKED chicken Scotch Eggs!!

Scotch Eggs are not just a popular way to eat eggs-and-meat in Europe countries but are even famous in India, known as Nargisi Kofta (Royal Fritter)! Often scotch eggs orNargisi Kofta is prepared with hard boiled egg covered in a layer of red meat and then deep fried for a crispy exterior! I, however, have made not-so-traditional version of Scotch Eggs. These eggs are neither covered in red meat and nor are fried! go figure! :)

Totally my style of cooking, I covered these Scotch Eggs in ground spicy chicken sausage and have baked'em, to give you a moist and healthier version of scotch eggs.

However, while rolling these Kofta, I also kept the spirits of Easter Eggs in mind. So, I decided to use a thick layer of chicken sausage which make'em look giant and massive! A thick coat of chicken and breadcrumbs also keep chicken moist while baking.

If you plan to make'em for Easter Informal Brunch, you can serve'em sliced in half with the mustard sauce on side. I really like to serve'em over a bed of green for brunch-for-two. That way it is one-plate-meal! it has meat, eggs, breading, and green salad!

Leftovers: I often chop leftover (day old) scotch eggs into bite-size pieces and fill in morning breakfast wrap!

Variation:You can also make small quail eggs covered with chicken for smaller scotch-egg-party-bites! Interesting? Isn't it?

May Iask, how do you like your Sunday Brunch? Eggs or no eggs??

I hope you all having a great day! and wish you a great weekend ahead!

Cheers!

Serve scotch eggs over bed of greens with mustard on side. Enjoy! Additional Notes:Instead of baking, you can also deep fry scotch eggs until golden and crispy from all sides. Oil should be at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for deep frying.

Savita's Notes:

Recipe doubles easily. However, if you want a thin layer of chicken on eggs, you can 1.5 pound chicken for about 6-7 eggs.

If serving for party, slice scotch eggs in half, then serve oven bed of greens in a platter with mustard sauce in center.
