As you can see in this picture, I have put them in the cooking dish for a 2 hour chilling nap before dinner.

I have them in the fridge chilling, and forming to shape before I unwrap them and cook them.

What is the white sauce on the bun? (That may be the problem).

What is the white sauce on the bun? (That may be the problem).Hi Spruce,

That's home made tatar sauce with a little horse radish sauce for the tang!

[Spruce-Ridge-Smokers]

Try adding a little more kosher salt and/or acid (lemon juice/balsamic vinegar) to the tartar sauce. Add a little sugar to round the flavor and soften the bite of the additional acid.

That seems more like a Scotch Egg. What I'm used to seeing referred to as an armadillo egg is a jalapeno stuffed with cheese and then wrapped in sausage and smoked, bread crumbs optional.

Either way, your prep pictures shows eggs, and I don't see any egg in there. Also, the middle looks under cooked.
