I discovered these amazing gluten-free scotch eggs at my local market in Leek one Saturday. I can't say I'd ever really tried a scotch egg before then but I have no idea why because they are awesome!
Staffordshire Savoury Eggs produce a range of quality homemade scotch eggs - including gluten-free and vegetarian. The gluten-free scotch eggs are made with crushed up rice cakes which coat the outside of the egg rather than breadcrumbs.
What are they like? Well, for a start they are huge!
For me the egg-pork ratio was good - a generous amount of pork shoulder meat wrapped around the egg - and I really liked the crispiness of the rice cakes around the outside. I definitely couldn't eat more than one though as they are very filling. I ate one of these for my lunch by itself and it kept me going until tea time. They are really tasty.
You can grab a gluten-free scotch egg at any of these markets:-
Stone/Rode Hall - 1st Saturday of the month
Stafford/Belper - 2nd Saturday of the month
Newcastle - 3rd Friday of the month
Leek - 3rd Saturday of the month
