A Scotch egg consists of a hard-boiled egg removed from its eggshell, wrapped in a sausage meat mixture, coated in breadcrumbs, and deep-fried. Scotch eggs are commonly eaten cold, typically with salad and pickles. Scotch eggs were traditionally a picnic food and homemade.

In the UK, pre-packed, plastic-wrapped Scotch eggs are commonly available in supermarkets,convenience stores and motorway service stations. In the United States, many "English-style" pubs and eateries serve fresh-made Scotch eggs. These are usually served hot, with dipping sauces such as ranch dressing, hot sauce, or hot mustard sauce.

At the Minnesota State Fair, true to fair tradition, scotch eggs are served on a stick. When making scotch eggs at home, some people choose to fry instead of deep-fry them, in order to improve their nutritional content. Cooks may also fry and then bake or microwave the scotch eggs to ensure that the sausage is cooked all the way through.
