How do I stop my Scotch eggs splitting when cooking? ›

Place the egg in the middle and wrap the egg with the meat. Pinch the edges together and smooth the ball so that there are no gaps or bumps. (If the covering isn't even, the Scotch egg will split during cooking.)

Return to heat stirring in crème fraiche. Remove from heat when eggs are clumpy, but soft. Season with freshly ground black pepper and garnish with a sprinkling of chopped chives.

The Scotch egg is a bit of a British institution, continually popular over many, many years. It consists of a hard-boiled egg wrapped in sausage meat, coated in breadcrumbs and deep-fried or baked until crispy.

It is important to bring them to room temperature first and then use them. If you put cold eggs directly in hot water for boiling, there are high chances of them cracking up. This is because the gases heat and expand within the shell and expand pressure, thus causing them to crack.

Gordon Ramsay's Scrambled Eggs.

The other way is to increase the acidity of how you're cooking it. "Vinegar is an inherently acidic material, so if we add a few drops of vinegar into that boiling water that is going to increase the rate of denaturing and it's going to make that happen faster and help the poached egg hold its shape better."

They are not mushy and runny but rather soft and creamy. If you cook the eggs low and slow and stir them continuously the eggs turn creamy almost like a light sauce. If the eggs are runny then they are undercooked and that's not GR's eggs.

Sort the eggs and place them in a pot or saucepan.

Stack the eggs very gently to avoid cracking. Don't overcrowd the pot—you should only boil one layer of eggs at a time, and they should not be pressing against each other. If you try to boil too many eggs at once, some of them may crack from the weight.

If the oil starts to spit it's because it's too hot, so turn the heat right down. Cook until the tops of the whites are set but the yolk is still runny. When they're ready, remove the pan from the heat and take the eggs out using a spatula. Place on a plate and dab them with some paper towels to soak up any excess oil.

How do I keep an egg yolk from breaking when frying an egg? Not when flipping, but when entering the pan. If your egg yolk is breaking, either you are cracking the shell too forcefully or you are letting the egg fall into the pan from too great a height.

Use a smaller pan... or treat yourself to some egg rings - circles of stainless steel or silicone which you put in the pan, and crack the eggs into, for perfectly shaped fried eggs. Egg rings make perfect size to put in a roll too! We call them egg banjos.
