Fried Chorizo Wrapped Eggs with a Crunchy Coating

Craving Spicy and Crispy? Here's Your New Favorite Recipe!

In a quest to add a Mexican twist to the classic Scotch egg, we've got the perfect dish for you! These Chorizo Scotch Eggs with Avocado Crema are an explosive blend of flavors that will rock your taste buds. Let's dive in!

What You'll Need:

  • Ingredients:
  • 8 large eggs
  • Kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 5 ounces corn tortilla chips
  • 12 ounces fresh Mexican chorizo, casings removed
  • 2 quarts vegetable oil, for frying
  • Avocado Crema, for dipping
  • Special Equipment:
  • Deep-frying/candy thermometer

Here's How You Make It:

  1. Eggs, the Easy Way: Place 6 eggs in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 3 minutes. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath, peel and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
  2. The Coating Trio: Crack the remaining 2 eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper. In a separate dish, add the flour, and another dish with crushed tortilla chips. Set these aside.
  3. Chorizo Wrappers: Divide the chorizo into 6 portions, roll into balls, and place around the soft-boiled eggs on a work surface. Wrap each egg with a chorizo ball and smooth the surface.
  4. The Three-Step Coating Process: Dredge the chorizo-wrapped eggs in flour, dip them in the beaten eggs, and roll them in the tortilla chip crumbs.
  5. Time to Fry: Heat the oil to 350°F in a Dutch oven. Fry the eggs until golden brown and the chorizo is cooked through. Remove and drain on a wire rack.
  6. Avocado Crema: Mash 2 ripe avocados, mix with sour cream or Greek yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Chill for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Cut each egg in half, season the cut sides with salt, and serve with the avocado crema for a delicious dip.

This delectable dish is ideal for breakfast, brunch, or as a happy hour snack paired with a slushy margarita! If you can't find Mexican chorizo, don't sweat it—just use any fresh, spicy sausage instead. Happy cooking and enjoy the explosion of flavors! 🌮🔥🥚🥑🍻
