If you find yourself in downtown Denver stop by the Celtic Tavern, Scotch eggs are on the menu. I choose to make mine at home instead most of the time:
Scotch Eggs
What You Need:
6 hard boiled eggs - cooled and peeled
12 ounces of bulk breakfast sausage
Bread crumbs or crushed crackers
2 tsp course Dijon or brown mustard
Ground black pepper to taste
How To Make it:
Mix mustard with the sausage. Divide out into 6 equal portions and pat out each one in an oval patty shape. Put one egg in middle of each sausage patty. Pick up patty and form around the egg, covering egg completely.
Roll in bread/cracker crumbs and place on a greased baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees or until the sausage is cooked. If your cholesterol is not high enough you could flash fry these in 375-ish oil but you need a deep fryer, if you go that route make sure you pack the meat and bread/cracker crumbs tightly or you'll get a mess instead of a tasty treat! Sausage ratio to egg can be increased or decreased to one's tastes. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
Serve hot or cold with more mustard, Tabasco, both or neither. Share with your four legged friends at your own peril!
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

Found in the tubes of the Interwebs this very evening, a pleasant little ditty that tells all there is to know about Scotch Eggs:
