     This is awesome! Easy to make ahead and wamr up in the morning for a quick breakfast on the go. I used Jennie O Turkey Sausage for an even lower fat content. My husband LOVED it! - 9/22/08

    I tried it with turkey sausage too. It came out great but higher in calories & fat. Using the Gimme Lean sausage, it's 233 calories, 7g fat. The whole package of turkey sausage was 293 calories, 16g fat. (No wonder why it tasted better!) It's just a matter of taste pref. and how strict you are.

     These are SOOO unbelievable delicious!!!! I will be adding this to my home cookbook!
    I substituted fish sauce for the tobasco sauce and used mozzarella cheese (bc its less calories) instead of the cheddar. - 6/16/09

     I can't wait to try these! My husband and I LOVE scotch eggs! I don't know about the Tobasco though I might just make them the way my friend does. She wraps a seeded Jalepeno around the egg then covers it in her meat mixture. Warning if you try it this way it is not for the faint of heart. - 4/20/10

    The original recipe did call for a jalapeno (remove the seeds) and dice up and put in the meat mixture.

     I made them for brunch today. My hubby wanted me to use the peppers from our garden on his. I put the peppers on three of them and didn't put them on mine. His were great now I wish I had more peppers! - 7/24/11

     I made these on Sunday and am planning on taking them for breakfast all week (well, four out of the five days since the husband swiped one). Next time, I think that I will add a little less garlic powder and more tobasco. Thanks! - 1/3/10

     This as great. I used Tapatio hot sauce instead and garlic pepper seasoning and I loved it. - 12/14/09
  • JUNIEKITTY
     These sound great, but I'm a total wimp for hot and spicy things, so the tobasco sauce would be a turn-off for me. Fish sauce doesn't sound too appealing to me either. Any suggestions for other substitutions that would keep it authentic? - 11/9/09

    Reply from PUSHWAIT (11/9/09)
    Believe me. I don't like hot stuff either. The original recipe called for chopped jalepeno pepper (which I couldn't bring myself to do). If you use the GREEN tobasco, it's very mild. Trust me. Try it as per directions and then let me know what you think. (Don't use fish sauce!!)

     YUMMY!! Had been looking for low calorie Scotch Eggs (UK term - sorry!) and am delighted to find this. Interesting twist for us with the jalapeno tabasco. Definitely now a favourite, - 10/22/09

     OMG...I am in Heaven! I had to use Turkey Sausage, because they did not have lite sausage, and I only had Matzo Meal instead of bread crumbs...but it was heavenly! - 6/28/09
