Any advice for baking these instead of frying?

Hi Samuel,
I've never tried baking them but I just did a little search and found these which bake for 35 minutes at 400. (http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/baked-scotch-eggs/f0e01f73-fb39-478b-9a2c-f242359d24af) I like the idea of baking them at a high temperature to get a crispier crust, but I would be nervous about the yolks staying runny enough. Definitely worth a try, I'd say!

Yes, I want that runny runny yolk, but the health conscious better half wants to bake them, trying to find that happy medium. Thank you!

this could be crazy, but i wonder if freezing a peeled soft boiled egg and then coating it in the meat and baking it could help...

That could be crazy... crazy genius! I'll try it with one or two and report back. Have a great weekend.

Alright, it's better to not even attempt to bake. You just can't get that golden brown and deliciousness without frying... It's probably easier to explain that frying isn't as unhealthy as inserthealhtymagazine says. Great recipe, the fried ones came out perfect, runny yolk and all.

I stopped making Scotch eggs years ago because they were so heavy and fattening . These sound delicious! I especially like using pot sticker filling ...so much more flavor.
