Scotch eggs belong right next to the word "versatile" in the dictionary. They're both a casual finger food to be shared amongst friends and a sophisticated picnic staple for a day in the park. And when it comes to layers of flavor, this recipe has it all: panko breadcrumbs fried to golden perfection, ground pork with a hint of rosemary, and a hard-boiled egg nestled inside. Each bite is balanced, herbacious, and oh-so-satisfying.
