Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 1 lb gluten-free sausages
• 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg
• 2 tbsp milk
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 tsp paprika
• 4 cups oil for frying
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place 6 large eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the eggs, place them in ice water to cool, then peel.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the meat from 1 lb of gluten-free sausages with 1 tsp of salt, 0.5 tsp of black pepper, and 0.5 tsp of paprika. Mix well to combine.

Step 3

Divide the sausage mixture into 6 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a thin patty.

Step 4

Wrap each hard-boiled egg with a sausage patty, ensuring the egg is completely covered. Smooth out any seams to ensure an even coating.

Step 5

Set up a breading station: place 0.5 cup of gluten-free flour in one bowl, whisk together 1 large egg with 2 tbsp of milk in a second bowl, and place 1 cup of gluten-free breadcrumbs in a third bowl.

Step 6

Roll each sausage-covered egg in the gluten-free flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally roll in the gluten-free breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.

Step 7

In a deep fryer or large pot, heat 4 cups of oil to 350°F (175°C).

Step 8

Carefully lower each prepared Scotch egg into the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary, for about 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Remove the Scotch eggs with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Allow them to cool slightly.

Step 10

Serve warm, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
