- Divide mince into 6 equal portions. On a lightly breadcrumb-sprinkled surface, pat out each portion to about 3mm thickness. Wrap portions completely around each of the hard boiled eggs, pressing edges together to seal.
- Dip mince-coated eggs in beaten egg then roll in breadcrumbs. Place on baking tray and bake in preheated 190 deg C oven until lightly browned; about 25 minutes.

I prepared this recipe using egg mayonnaise (chopped egg, mayo, dijon, cayenne pepper, salt) as I've always disliked the whole egg scotch eggs; hard boiled egg is boring. Unfortunately this resulted in them splitting open in the oven. Any ideas on how I can prevent this from happening? - 26 Dec 2011 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
Easy to do, but instead of beaten egg, I used a knorr stock cubemade into a paste with olive oil before rollinf in breadcrums. This makes a fabulous savoury crunchy coating! - 31 Jan 2012 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
