...with runny yolks.

Anyone managed to successfully deliver such an item?

Care to share your secrets to success?

Why would you want one with a runny yolk? One of the best things about them is the portability and low mess factor.

It's the 'vogue' starter (apparently); a hot Scotch Egg, with the yolk still warm and runny.

It just strikes me that even if I could peel a barely boiled egg; I'd crush it trying to wrap (and seal) it with the sausagemeat.

Soft boil the egg then plunge into ice cold water to stop further cooking, refrigerate the egg and then coat in room temp sausage meat and breadcrumb and deep fry.

Just a guess.

What happens to the yolk of a soft boiled egg if it's refrigerated? Does it stay runny?

Freeze a raw egg in its shell and then peel it? As far as I'm aware that's a complete

it is not a good idea to freeze eggs in the shell. The shells can crack and allow air to reach the frozen contents of the shell. This will not only negatively impact the taste of the eggs; it can also increase the possibility of the egg spoiling and becoming the ideal vehicle for food poisoning.

Are you sure you don't mean a deep fried bread crumbed poached egg? They seem to be popping up on menus everywhere

No - this is definitely a scotch egg. The crumbed poached egg is clearly delivered by a chef who has failed to master wrapping a delicate, lightly-boiled/poached egg in something as brutal and stiff as sausagemeat.

Replace the egg with baked beans....

It's a bugger to make though.

Howabout, runny egg and baked beans inside...

And crispy bacon though, right?

Perhaps thin sliced ham as the layer between the egg and the baked beans ( I don't think crispy bacon would work) but the ham would give an idea of bacon.
I think we could have the beginnings of a very successful breakfast dish

I had little expectation of crispy bacon 'working' in a sea of baked beans and runny egg yolk
