Cynhwysion:

4 wy wedi'u berwi'n galed, wedi'u plicio

English Translation

Here is another version of Welsh Eggs (the Welsh equivalent of Scotch eggs) with boiled eggs covered in a mashed potato, leek and cheese mixture before being breaded and deep fried.

Ingredients:

4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
400g cooled mashed potato
2 diced and blanched leeks
150g cheese, grated
100g dried breadcrumbs
100g plain flour
1 egg, beaten

Method:

Mix the potato, leeks and cheese together and use this to evenly cover the eggs.

Put the covered eggs in the fridge and chill for 30 minutes to firm up.

When the eggs are firm, cover them in breadcrumbs, by first rolling them through the flour, then into the beaten egg and finally the breadcrumbs. Repeat the process until they are well coated.

Deep fry at 180°C for 5 minutes or until the core temperature is 80°C or bake in the oven for 25 minutes at 180°C.
