The Pancetta and the egg.

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).

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.

Like this...



Here is a Scotch egg...



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