Mexican Chorizo SCOTCH EGGS! - Recipe Video / How-To

Hey Everyone! I decided to put a spin on classic Scotch Eggs (hard-boiled egg wrapped in sausage). I replaced the hard-boiled egg for a soft-boiled one and nixed the breakfast sausage for Mexican Chorizo. Here's a how-to video that will go into detail about the technique and ingredients. Of course, I'll add more notes below. I hope you enjoy!

Mexican Chorizo Spice Blend:

---> ”toastables” (toast for 3-4 minutes in 350F oven)

- Ancho Chili Powder, 3 tbsp *deseeded for less spicy

- Cumin Seed, 2 tbsp

- Black Peppercorns, 12 whole

- Coriander Seed, 2 tsp

- Whole Cloves, 10 cloves

- Bay Leaves, 3 medium leaves

---> “Non-toastables”

- Ground Cinnamon ½ tsp

- Mexican Oregano Dry, 1 tsp

- Fresh Thyme, 1 tsp

- Paprika (hot or sweet), 5 tbsp *Use hot paprika for more of a kick

- Cayenne, 1 tsp

- Kosher Salt, ½ tsp and more to taste

- Fresh Garlic, minced 2 cloves

- Apple Cider Vinegar 3 tbsp

- Garnish - ½ cup loosely packed chopped cilantro

Chipotle Lime Crema:

- Creme Fraiche or Sour Cream, ¼ cup

- Chipotle in Adobo, 1 tbsp

- Fresh Lime Juice, ½ small lime plus more to taste

- Kosher Salt, ½ tsp plus more to taste

Soft-Boiled Egg Tips:

- Bring water to boil, then GENTLY add in eggs. Cook for 6.5 minutes. Shock in ice water for 3-4 minutes.

- “Fridge cold” eggs, aka eggs directly taken from the fridge, are fine. No need to bring to room temp.

- I find eggs are easier to peel under running water or completely submerged. The water seeps in between the cracks of the eggs to help the shell come off the egg.
