Looks like a Scotch egg to me - quite tasty!

Not clear if the accompanying photo is the same one the asker refers to (if so, definitely looks like a scotch egg) but here's another possibility: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2012/04/thai-son-in-law-eggs-fried-hard-boiled-eggs-in-tamarind-sauce.html

I make scotch eggs every year for a Summer picnic with my family. They're a bit of a labour-intensive process, but totally worth it :) This is by far the best recipe I've used, and has been the firm favourite for the past few years:

Yep, most likely a Scotch egg. I've made this recipe, with great success. The mustard sauce is a must!

I like this one:

Good replacement for the deep-fried version and still has plenty of fat from the sausage.

I must try it now!

I was actually referring to this photo and the technique in order to achieve that outer fried part: http://web.stagram.com/p/331677359803107132_24686696

Any ideas?

There's a similar looking egg in the cookbook 400 Best Ever Budget Recipes, though they keep the yolks a little less set.

Place eggs in a pan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil and cook for four minutes. Remove, then drain and rinse in cold water. Shell and set aside.

Fill a wok one-third full of oil and heat to 180 C/350 F (or until a cube of bread dipped into the oil browns in fifteen seconds).

Using a slotted spoon, lower the eggs, one at a time, into the hot oil. Deep fry 2-3 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove and drain on paper towels.

ADORE scotch eggs, but probably haven't had one if 5 years. My mom liked to make them before we went camping as it was a fully cooked, handheld breakfast that required no equipment to eat. Mmmmmmmmmmmm.

Super-easy, "cheating" recipe: use Jimmy Dean sage sausage (in the frozen meat or breakfast section of your supermarket). Flatten ~4 oz into a large, thin patty and form around peeled h.b. egg. Repeat. Bake at ~350 degrees for ~1/2 hour, or until sausage is done. Eat warm or cold, with plenty of Coleman's mustard.

They are called Thai fried eggs. Try this recipe. http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Son-in-Law-Eggs_-Thai-Fried-Hard-Boiled-Eggs-in-Tamarind-Sauce-Serious-Eats-280781?columns=3&position=2/36

I haven't made them, but recently tried deep fried eggs at a restaurant. I asked how the heck that happened, I was told they soft boiled and peeled the eggs, coated in cornflake crumbs, then deep fried. Basically the same thing that @mabith said, just with a coating. They were amazing, by the way.

Thanks you! I also found this recipe. I flipped when I saw the photo. http://rasamalaysia.com/thai-recipe-son-in-law-eggs/2/

Thanks you!!! It looks awesome. This is exactly what I'm looking for.
