Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 500 grams ground pork
- 60 grams almond flour
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
Place the 6 eggs in a medium saucepan, cover them with cold water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes.
Step 2
Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and let them cool for about 5 minutes. Carefully peel the shells from the eggs and set them aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, almond flour, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with some of the oil.
Step 5
Divide the pork mixture into 6 equal portions. Take one portion and flatten it into a thin patty in the palm of your hand.
Step 6
Place one peeled egg in the center of the pork patty and gently wrap the pork around the egg, smoothing it out to cover the egg completely. Repeat with the remaining eggs and pork mixture.
Step 7
Heat the coconut or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the wrapped eggs and brown them on all sides, about 1-2 minutes per side.
Step 8
Transfer the browned Scotch eggs to the prepared baking sheet.
Step 9
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and golden brown.
Step 10
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Whole30 Scotch eggs warm or at room temperature.
