Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 1 lb ground pork sausage
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp paprika
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Place 6 large eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water by about 1 inch.

Step 2

Bring the water to a gentle boil, then cover the pot and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 8 minutes for medium yolks.

Step 3

Transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water and let them cool for 5 minutes before peeling.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 5

In a large bowl, mix the ground pork sausage, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Step 6

Divide the sausage mixture into 6 equal portions.

Step 7

Flatten each portion of sausage into a patty and wrap it around a peeled egg, ensuring the egg is completely covered.

Step 8

Beat one large egg in a shallow bowl.

Step 9

Roll each sausage-coated egg in the beaten egg, then in additional almond flour to lightly coat the outside.

Step 10

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown each scotch egg on all sides for about 5 minutes until golden.

Step 11

Transfer the browned eggs to the prepared baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the sausage is fully cooked.

Step 12

Let the Scotch Eggs rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
