2025 UPDATE: Sadly M&S discontinued these gluten free scotch eggs several years ago – though by the amount of traffic this page gets, it seems lot of you want them back! Maybe M&S will listen and bring them back one day… we can dream, right!? In the meantime, why not make your own gluten free scotch eggs? It’s super easy and I have air fryer, oven and deep frying methods you can choose between. I’ll leave this post for you to reminisce…

The last time I had a scotch egg was in my pre-coeliac days. I remember not being that fussed about them at the time, but in recent years it has become one of those foods that, because I can’t have it, I want it.

So when I saw some posts flying around Facebook and Twitter that Marks and Spencer had launched some gluten free scotch eggs to their Made Without Wheat range, I jumped straight in the car! Barnstaple’s M&S store didn’t disappoint – I found them nestled among two other new products – gluten free quiches.

I expected them, like most gluten free products, to be a miniature version of the real thing, so imagine my shock and surprise when I realised they were about the size of a tennis ball! I was delighted, and rushed home to try them.

The results were as good as I had expected. A rich, meaty sausage filling, the soft egg in the centre, all wrapped in a golden crumb. Delicious. I tried to tackle the whole thing at once, but ended up having to cut them in half! I daren’t look at the calories involved, as I got a bit carried away and ate them both in one sitting!

I didn’t try the quiches this time, but they did also look very good. I think M&S have brought out a whole new load of gluten free goodies – I have heard very good things about the cake – but in my haste to get back and devour the scotch egg I didn’t get a chance to investigate!

These would be great for parties – they always make me think of summer picnics. Now if someone could just fetch me some Pimms….
