Funny question! Why would you give a scotch egg to someone who doesn't like egg?! Can't she have a bag of crisps or something?

Can't you just it in half or put a slice in it and remove the egg.

The egg is normally whole and is not attached to the meat which surrounds it.

You can then put whatever filling you want in it.

That's kinda like asking for a drink without the liquid.
Try meatballs and bread them yourself?

The other suggestions wont taste the same. I'm with your daughter an a person that didn't like scotch eggs. But i like the meat and coating.

Just buy a large scotch egg and slice in half and take the egg out.

They did taste different as a kid though. Placebo and all that.

We're making them, not buying, but I take your point

I was trying to think of a variationto the filling, like the version with haddock instead of sausage, if you see what I mean

Thanks for all your help anyway peeps

What about cheese - maybe you could use one of those mini balls of Mozzarella.

Actually, that might be an idea. Or I've now thought maybe roasted small onion or shallot, she loves them

I was just going to suggest cheese. Or a mixture of cheese & rice. Kind of like Arancini di riso
http://uktv.co.uk/food/recipe/aid/617591

Or how about a version of kibbeh. Lamb balls stuffed with lamb

If it's a scotch egg with out the egg, it's a scotch and she might be a bit young for that (but she'll sleep well)

I'll certainly vote for arancini, loved them when living in Rome and make them now and again here although nothing like the recipe you posted (which does look nice btw).

Make a ragu/bolognese sauce, mix some with risotto (more rice than ragu), when mixed and cold get an egg sized ball of the mixture and press a nugget of mozzarella into the middle, egg and breadcrumb then deep fry till golden and hot. Gorgeous!!

Had the oddest arancini in Malta the other year. About the size of a cricket ball and filled with what can only be described as mince and potato in gravy!!

That would be like a mozzarella stick with sausage meat. I love mozzarella sticks, but I don't know if the addition of sausage meat will make them better or not.

If you could do without the sausage meat then the mozzarella stick (ball) is a great snack.
