Description
Delicious Keto Scotch Eggs featuring a crispy exterior encasing savory sausage and creamy boiled eggs, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 Large Eggs
- 1 lb Sausage Meat (pork or turkey)
- 1/2 Cup Almond Flour
- 1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon Onion Powder
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Oil for Frying or Cooking Spray for Baking
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for baking, or heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat if you prefer frying.
- Place the six large eggs in a pot of water. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 6-8 minutes for soft-boiled or up to 10-12 minutes for firmer yolks. Once done, transfer them to an ice bath to cool for about 5 minutes.
- Carefully peel the cooled eggs, ensuring you keep the shells as intact as possible.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sausage meat with almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well mixed.
- Divide the sausage mixture into six equal portions.
- Flatten one portion of the sausage mixture in your palm, like a mini pancake. Place a peeled egg in the center and wrap the sausage around it, ensuring it’s entirely encased.
- Repeat with the remaining eggs.
- For frying, gently place each wrapped egg in hot oil. Fry until they turn golden brown and crispy, approximately 5-7 minutes. Turn them occasionally for an even cook.
- For baking, arrange the wrapped eggs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly spray them with cooking spray and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden and firm.
- Once cooked, let them cool slightly before slicing and serving to reveal the beautiful, soft yolk inside.
Notes
Chill boiled eggs in an ice bath for easier peeling. If baking, lining your baking sheet with parchment paper helps with cleanup.
