Scotch Eggs with Fresh Herbs

Lindsay McDougal of Corona, California, writes: "When my husband and I first moved to Southern California from a small town between Edinburgh and Glasgow, we were amazed by the variety of foods available. It's almost unfair to compare the two places, since there are so many different ethnic cuisines here. We've come to love Mexican and Italian cooking, but we still find ourselves yearning for the traditional Scottish recipes we grew up with, like Scotch eggs and meat and potato pies. They're hearty dishes and so easy to make."

Hard-boiled eggs are coated in sausage and breadcrumbs, then deep-fried. They're classic fare at pubs and often are served with mustard or ketchup.
