Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 1 lb Ground Pork Sausage
- 1/4 cup Almond Flour
- 1/2 cup Pork Rinds
- 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
- 1 teaspoon Spices
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
Instructions
- 1Place the 6 large Eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until hard-boiled. Drain the hot water and immediately cover the eggs with cold water to cool them completely. Once cool, carefully peel the 6 large Eggs and set them aside.
- 2In a medium bowl, combine the 1 lb Ground Pork Sausage, 1 teaspoon Spices, and 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard. Mix thoroughly with your hands until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- 3Divide the sausage mixture into 4 equal portions. Take one portion and flatten it in your palm to create a disc shape.
- 4Place one peeled hard-boiled egg in the center of the flattened sausage disc. Carefully mold the sausage around the egg, ensuring it is completely covered with no gaps. Repeat this process for the remaining 3 eggs and sausage portions.
- 5In a shallow dish, combine the 1/4 cup Almond Flour and 1/2 cup Pork Rinds. Crush the pork rinds into fine crumbs before mixing with the almond flour. Roll each sausage-wrapped egg in this mixture, pressing gently to coat all sides evenly.
- 6Heat the 2 tablespoons Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium heat (approximately 350°F or 175°C). Alternatively, preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- 7Carefully place the coated Scotch eggs into the hot oil or air fryer basket. Cook for 15-20 minutes, turning them every 5 minutes, until the sausage coating is golden brown and firm to the touch. If using a skillet, the internal temperature of the sausage should reach 160°F (71°C).
