Scotch Eggs (Grain-Free)

Recipe Description:

Traditionally, Scotch Eggs are breaded and deep-fried. I’ve created a version here that is just as yummy and does not include any grains. A wonderful low-carb snack or breakfast for anyone.

Prep Time: 15 Minutes

Cook Time: 25 Minutes

Servings: 5 servings

Difficulty: Easy

Recipe Ingredients:

5 eggs

1 lbs pastured pork sausage

1/3 cup coconut flour or blanched almond flour (can omit the flour completely if desired, but I think it adds something)

Recipe Instructions:

Carefully place eggs in a saucepan and fill with water until the eggs are covered. Place the pan over high heat. When the water comes to a boil, place a lid on the pot and turn off the burner. Allow to sit for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, run the eggs under cold water until you are able to handle them.

The eggs will be soft-boiled at this time. This is important as we don't want the eggs to become overcooked. Carefully, peel the eggs and allow to dry. The soft-boiled eggs may be more difficult to peel. Take care.

Divide the sausage into 5 equal pieces. Take one piece and pat it out into a patty. Place one egg into the center and mold the sausage around the egg. Be sure the entire egg is sealed in and there are no thin spots (this spots may crack during baking).

Roll egg in coconut flour and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining eggs.

Bake the scotch eggs at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until the outside begins to brown. Allow finished eggs to cool slightly before cutting into halves or quarters.

Serve warm or at room temperature.

Alternately, you can make these up the night before and bake in the morning, or if you'd prefer, bake the night before and refrigerate, then allow to come to room temperature before serving.

These are great for breakfast on the go or can be a beautiful display for a brunch.
