Place the whole eggs in a pan of cold, salted water and bring to the boil. Simmer for about 8 minutes.
Drain & cool the eggs under running water then peel the shells off.
In a large bowl mix the sausage meat with the thyme, parsley and spring onion and season well with salt & pepper.
Divide the sausage meat into four, and flatten into ovals approx 12cm x 7cm, similar to the shape of the palm of your hand.
Next put the seasoned flour onto a plate, the beaten egg into a bowl and the seasoned breadcrumbs onto a plate.
Dip each egg in the flour, then beaten egg and finally roll in breadcrumbs, ensuring a good even coating at each stage.
Heat the oil in a large deep pan until a breadcrumb sizzles and turns brown when dropped in (CAUTION do not leave hot oil unattended)
Carefully place the scotch eggs in the oil and fry for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
Chill before serving.
