Just to add some substance to this forum, hee's a really really really really piss easy and often cost effective recipe. Which in my humble opinion rocks for all that it really is.
I say scotch eggs, there is no vegetarian meat involved, that has often thrown people off. The sausage on the outside is replaced with breadcrumbs and cheese.
Ingredients for 1 scotch egg (there are no specific quantities specofoed because they can be whatever you feel in the mood for
)
2 eggs (1 raw, one hardboiled or soft boiled if you eall want)
few handfuls of breadcrumbs from leftover bread
few handfuls of grated cheese be it cheddar, feta, brie, anything really, gooey melty goodness
flavour! (by which i mean anything you fancy, anything. Cheddar and onion is a typical one but brie and apricots, feta and rosemary, you can make whatever sounds good to you)
Seasoning (salt and pepper and again, anything you fancy)
Method:
1. mix your raw egg with your breadcrumbs and cheese, it should form a mixture that will break apart but not wet enough to stick all over your hands (as with the ingredients, this is not critical, it can be any consistency at the ned of the day, simple issue being more cheese means more chance it will just melt into a tasty mess when cooking, which can only be a good thing right?)
2. add whatever ingredients you fancy, be it onion etc, if veg, these should be roasted or fired off before mixing in as the cooking prcess is really just heating through as opposed to cooking. Mix it all together
3. shove mixture into hand and flatten. Place hardboiled egg in the middle and wrap up in the breacrumb and cheese micture.
4. thwack it on an oven tray and bake at 200 degrees celcius for around 18-20 minutes, ovens vary, until they golden up really.
5. NOM!
My personal recipe would have each egg coming out roughly the size of a softball, and it is made with breadcrumbs, not slices of bread, so that is 100% filling and stodgy
Sounds a bit odd, but the easiest way i can put it is that it is funky cheese on toast with eggs i quite often like making em with marmite and cheddar (for the folk over the pond marmite is basically a yeast extract spread, a little like bovril, just not beef flavour 
)
tHey can be served hot or cold, will last however long you are comfortable keeping cooked eggs for, but well, serve em hot so they're all melty and yum yum yum
feta and rosemary is one of my fav recipes though, you get the saltiness of the feta, and then when cooking the rosemary just wow, yes, anotherone please.
Bear in mind, these are NOT healthy. When i made them at work each one would require 6 large slices of handmade bread, that is to say bread with substance, not supermarket nonsense where you could eat the whole loaf and still feel peckish.
