Vegetarian Scotch eggs

I promise, we don't eat only fried things, but once the idea of making vegetarian Scotch eggs entered my mind, I couldn't do anything but make them.  'Ere's how I did it:


1.  Boil your eggs.  That's 17 minutes total.  After you pull them, drain the water, and shock them with ice cubes + cold water.  You don't want to work with warm eggs.





2.  Peel the eggs, rinse them for shell bits, and dry with a paper towel.  After drying, coat the hard boiled egg with some Gimme Lean!








3.  You know the drill!  Coat with flour, then egg mixture (1 egg, a bit of buttermilk), and finally with panko.  





4.  Fry





5.  Drain





6.  Search and destroy










I might have to make these for the next big brunch.
