You actually have a little white in your Scotch egg sorry it does look delicious though I would still eat it 😋

You dumbass you copied a mughalai dish known as nargisi kofta.

[@a2ndopynyn]

@@akahekwksncnduewnw First off, calling Chef John, who has been _a very nice person on the Internet_ for over a decade, a "dumbass," merely tells us who YOU are. Second, he *says* this dish actually originated in India near the end of the video. Third, I'm going to refrain from insulting you in the same way you insulted CJ. But you deserve it. I'm not a bit surprised at your arrogance. Really.

I'm a complete novice and I just tried this recipe. Firstly, they taste amazing - thanks. Secondly, be careful with how much sausage you wrap around the egg. If you use too much the pork will be under cooked even when the outside looks done or even passed done. When you make your patty squish it out just a little more. Other than that I feel like I was successful. Thanks again.

[@dickiegreenleaf750]

Thanks for the tip

[@Philrc]

Not a good idea to put the eggs in such a small amount of water. Here is a better way to get soft boiled eggs: bring a pan of water to the boil make sure the water is actually boiling. Now put your eggs in the boiling water, not too many of course, turn off the heat source straight away and leave the eggs in the water for 3 minutes. That will give you perfect soft-boiled eggs.

I love that...but I think I would end up weighing 400 pounds! If he's willing to learn how to be a whole foods, Keto diet chef, then yes! I like to have lots of vegetables in my life, too. I'm so lucky my parents introduced me to the joy of broccoli when I was a kid. (NOT overboiled, not raw...well steamed or lightly boiled, and then you add a little butter, plenty of salt and pepper, and each person gets a wedge of fresh lemon to squeeze over the broccoli (or spinach!) and it takes away the 'sulfur' smell and enlivens the taste!

[@peterdaigle7249]

My Scotch Eggs turned out amazing! I bought loose garlic sausage meat from a local farmer's market. Such a great brunch item. I'll definitely make them again soon. Also, the 6 minute egg was perfect molten lava-ish.

[@tkguha6918]

Hi Chef John, The name of the Indian Mughlai (influenced by the Mughal Dynasty) recipe is "Nargisi Kofta". The word Nargisi coming from the common name Nargis, which i believe means daffodils. But you are also right in the sense that "Narcissus" is a part of the scientific name for Daffodils.

In Calcutta you get a version of this called Egg Devil😀. In the high end restaurant or shops they use a minced and cooked goat meat mix to cover the egg. In a poorer version they use a mix of mashed potatoes and meat. In another version, the boiled egg is cut open, the yolk is removed and replaced with a meat mixture. The outer coating is made of mashed potato. The Nargisi kofta is Scotch Eggs cooked in an onion based gravy. The covering on the egg is minced and cooked goat meat or chicken.

Sir, perfect eggs, wonderful video. The word Scotch has nothing to do with Scotland. To scotch something, or the act of scotching, is the act of coating something in breadcrumbs, the way you did with those perfect eggs. All the best to you. I have subscribed just because of this video. 👍👍
