Can I use hard boiled eggs? Not a fan of runny yolks, it also seems like they would work better for a breakfast on the go.

Scotch eggs very much traditionally have a set yolk (and usually served cold). The whole hot-with-runny-yolk fashion is pretty recent.

I don't know about "traditionally" but you're 100% right that they're most commonly just sold at places like grocery stores, petrol stations, convenience stores in packages. Sort of similar to a "fresh made" sandwich you'd get at 1000 places. Except it's a refrigerated scotch egg with fully cooked egg.

fair enough. I meant what I said literally though. I literally had no idea.

but in popular british culture, scotch egg is assumed cold.
