Celebrate Easter with Scotch Eggs

Most Easter eggs are dyed, chocolate, or plastic and filled with jelly beans, but we took the Easter egg idea in a different direction: Scotch eggs. We've spotted the classic pub snack of hard-boiled eggs encased in sausage, breaded, and deep-fried at trendy restaurants like Wexler's in San Francisco and Rye in Brooklyn, which inspired us to develop a few of our own versions in the CHOW Test Kitchen. Make these recipes for Easter brunch, or just as a way to use up your leftover boiled eggs.
