Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 1 pound ground pork
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil. Gently lower 4 of the eggs into the boiling water and let them cook for 7 minutes for slightly runny yolks or 9 minutes for firmer yolks. Once cooked, transfer the eggs to an ice water bath immediately to cool. Once cooled, carefully peel the eggs and set them aside.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground pork with 1 teaspoon of sea salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon of onion powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of paprika. Mix well until all the spices are evenly incorporated.

Step 3

Divide the pork mixture into 4 equal portions. Flatten one portion in the palm of your hand to form a patty. Place a peeled boiled egg in the center and gently shape the pork around the egg, ensuring it is completely covered. Repeat with the remaining eggs and pork.

Step 4

Place the almond flour in a shallow dish. Coat each of the wrapped eggs in the almond flour, pressing lightly to ensure the flour sticks.

Step 5

Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C).

Step 6

Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the wrapped eggs. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the pork is browned. Transfer the browned eggs to a baking sheet.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the pork is fully cooked through.

Step 8

Let the Paleo Scotch Eggs cool slightly before serving. Enjoy hot or store in the refrigerator for a convenient on-the-go meal.
