  • First I boil the beef. Then I run the cooked meat through a meat grinder twice — three times is even better. Next I beat the egg, then mix it thoroughly into the meat. I shape the mixture into "patties" about the size and shape of a large egg and roll them in breadcrumbs. The final step is to fry them on all sides in a skillet over moderate heat. They're best served under a spoonful of sour cream, but a spicy tomato sauce or some vegetables work well too. This dish will win over any college student — some will be downright thrilled. It's easy to make, yet it looks and tastes like a restaurant delicacy. A friend who's into Celtic culture first introduced me to Scotch beef eggs, and ever since, the recipe file has lived right on my computer's desktop for whenever I get the urge to make it — which happens almost every week. It's a wonderful dish that's always ready to delight guests who drop in unexpectedly.
