Scotch Egg Recipe (with Vegemite)
This brisket scotch egg recipe puts an Aussie barbecue twist on a classic British pub favourite, swapping traditional sausage meat for rich, smoky brisket trimmings and adding a hit of Vegemite for deep umami flavour. Wrapped around a perfectly cooked egg, then either smoked low and slow or fried until golden and crispy, this brisket scotch egg is bold, indulgent and unapologetically Australian. If you’re looking for a unique BBQ recipe, a way to use leftover brisket, or a scotch egg recipe that seriously levels up on flavour, this version delivers big time on texture, smoke and savoury punch.

If you want to upset the British, change up one of their national dishes! I added brisket trimmings and Vegemite to these Scotch eggs and i reckon it makes it better!
