What is a SCOTCH EGG?
🥚 Despite its name, the Scotch Egg is an English delight that has become a staple in British pubs throughout the region. Essentially, a Scotch Egg is a soft-boiled egg (the runny center is a must!) wrapped in sausage and rolled in bread crumbs, then deep-fried to perfection.
We’ve spent the last four years perfecting this iconic dish using only the finest regional ingredients including eggs from local farmers in Currituck County, Cheshire Pork breakfast sausage from Heritage Farms in Goldsboro, North Carolina, and we serve it over a smear of house-made Red Pepper Jelly made from local red peppers grown right here on Roanoke Island.
If you’ve never tried the Scotch Egg at Lost Colony Tavern, do yourself a favor and experience this iconic British appetizer on your next visit to the pub. If you HAVE, leave a comment below and let us know!
