Now need a recipe for foolproof soft-boiled for Scotch eggs. Anyone..? Anyone..? Bueller..? (Thanks!😘)
My thought was to crack the egg into a suitable container and then freeze it. Then mold the sausage around it and sous vide it at whatever temp gives you the egg doneness you desire, which should be fine for the sausage, too. Then a quick deep fry in pretty hot oil to put a crust on it.

The trick is not to boil your hard boiled eggs! Instead, steam them. I learned this from the Sunbeam E-1 automatic egg cooker that I have been making eggs in since I first learned how to do it in the mid-50's. I don't suppose I've had a dozen sticky shelled eggs in that time.
Egg cookers are still made and pretty much all work the same way (and there is a plethora of used ones on e-bay). Oxo (and others) also make a silicone egg rack that fits in the bottom of a sauce pan, if you don't have an egg cooker or want to cook a dozen eggs at a time for spud salad.
If you are making them in a pan, put the rack in the pan; add maybe 3/8" of water in the bottom; pierce the tops of the eggs to prevent them blowing up (egg piercers are also available fairly cheaply); put the eggsin the rack (pierced side up!); steam them for whatever time you like and turn off the heat. I usually just let the eggs cool in the pan. Doesn't seem to make any difference whether you start with cold or room temp eggs.

topped with a dollop of mayo- flavored anyway you might like and
topped with a sage leaf gently fried in butter.
Looks yummy.
