Ingredients
  

For the Scotch Eggs
  • 6 pieces large hard-boiled eggs Hard boil the eggs before wrapping.
  • 1 pound ground sausage Use your preferred flavor of sausage.
  • 1 teaspoon paprika For seasoning the sausage.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Adds flavor to the sausage mixture.
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder Enhances the sausage flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Adjust to taste.
  • 1/2 cup almond flour For coating the eggs.
  • 1 large beaten egg For breading.
  • 1 cup cooking oil For frying.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Hard boil the eggs and let them cool. Once cooled, peel the eggs and set them aside.
  3. In a bowl, combine ground sausage with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Divide the sausage mixture into six portions. Flatten each portion and wrap it around a hard-boiled egg, ensuring each egg is fully encased.
Cooking
  1. Roll each wrapped egg in almond flour, then dip it in the beaten egg, and roll again in almond flour.
  2. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the eggs until golden brown.
  3. Transfer the eggs to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
  4. Let the eggs cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Store leftover Keto Scotch Eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in the oven for a few minutes to regain their crispiness. Ensure the sausage is at room temperature for easier handling. Experiment with different spices for variety.
