Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 pound ground pork sausage (sugar-free)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Place 6 large eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once boiling, remove the saucepan from heat and cover it with a lid. Let the eggs sit in hot water for 5-6 minutes.
Step 3
After time has passed, transfer the eggs into a bowl of ice water and let them cool for about 10 minutes. Then peel the eggs and set them aside.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork sausage, ground mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the seasonings are well incorporated into the sausage.
Step 5
Divide the seasoned sausage into 6 equal portions.
Step 6
To wrap the eggs, flatten each portion of sausage into a patty. Place a peeled egg in the center and gently work the sausage around the egg, ensuring it is completely covered with no gaps.
Step 7
In a shallow bowl, mix almond flour and grated parmesan cheese to create a crumb mixture.
Step 8
In another bowl, beat the remaining large egg.
Step 9
Roll each sausage-wrapped egg in the beaten egg, then gently coat it in the almond flour mixture, ensuring all sides are covered.
Step 10
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the scotch eggs to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary.
Step 11
Cook the scotch eggs for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the sausage is thoroughly cooked and the outside is golden brown and crispy.
Step 12
For the best texture, transfer the scotch eggs to a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for an additional 5 minutes.
Step 13
Once cooked, transfer the scotch eggs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 14
Serve warm or at room temperature as a satisfying Keto-friendly meal or snack.
