These Scotch eggs are designed for convenience. They can be eaten straight from the packaging as a cold snack. For a warm option, they can be reheated. Place them on a baking tray in a preheated oven at 180°C (160°C fan/Gas Mark 4) for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, they can be microwaved according to package instructions, usually for a couple of minutes. Ensure they are piping hot before serving.
