Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 egg, beaten (for coating)
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Place 6 large eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Step 2
Remove the eggs from heat and transfer them to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes to stop the cooking process. Gently peel the eggs and set them aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork sausage, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.
Step 4
Divide the sausage mixture into 6 equal parts. Flatten each portion into a thin patty using your hands.
Step 5
Carefully wrap each peeled egg with a sausage patty, ensuring that the meat covers the egg completely and is patted down smoothly.
Step 6
Dip each sausage-wrapped egg into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated.
Step 7
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking oil.
Step 8
Place the coated eggs on the prepared baking sheet and spray their tops lightly with cooking oil spray.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the sausage is cooked through and the outside is golden brown.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy your low carb Scotch eggs warm or at room temperature.
