Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Unwrap the cheese and place it back into its box or a foil package.
  • Pierce the cheese, insert rosemary leaves, drizzle with honey, and season with pepper.
  • Bake the cheese for 15 to 20 minutes until golden and bubbling.
  • Boil the quails’ eggs for two minutes and immediately shock in iced water.
  • Soak the eggs in malt vinegar for 10 minutes to loosen the shells.
  • Mix the pork mince with sage, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  • Prepare three bowls with beaten egg, flour, and panko breadcrumbs.
  • Peel the eggs, coat in flour, wrap in meat, then dip in egg and breadcrumbs.
  • Heat 8cm of vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat until sizzling.
  • Fry the Scotch eggs for 3 to 4 minutes until golden-brown and drain on kitchen paper.
  • Boil peas and mint stalks in salted water for three minutes then drain.
  • Blend the peas with cooking liquid, mint leaves, and crème fraîche until smooth.
  • Serve the soup in small glasses garnished with the reserved peas and mint.
