Keto Scotch Eggs

Servings: 6


INGREDIENTS

  • 6 large eggs – at room temperature
  • 600 g (21 oz) mild Italian sausage or farmer’s sausage or chorizo sausage - casing removed = about 100 g (3.5 oz) for each large egg
  • 1 g (1/2 tsp)  nutmeg 
  • 0.25 g (1/4 tsp) parsley flakes
  • 1 g (1 tsp) English mustard or Dijon mustard or mustard powder
  • 3 g (1/2 tsp) salt
  • Outer coating batter
  • 2 eggs – beaten
  • 25 g (1/2 cup) – Oat fiber,   coconut flour   or unflavored whey protein isolate
  • 45 g (1/2 cup)  almond flour 
  • 24 g (1/4 cup)   psyllium husk powder 
  • 3 g (1/2 tsp) salt
  • 50 g (1/2 cup) parmesan cheese – roughly grated fresh

DIRECTIONS

  • 1.   Cook the eggs to your desired level: soft runny yolks, soft but non-runny yolks or hard boiled

  • 2.   In a medium bowl combine the sausage meat, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and parsley (dry or fresh finely chopped). Mash well to thoroughly combine the ingredients

  • 3.   For each egg, weigh exactly 100 g or 3.5 oz of the sausage meat mixture, form into a ball, make a well in the ball, and place the fat end of the egg into the well

  • 4.   Gently press on the meat to cover the entire egg and form a seal. Pat to ensure that the thickness of the meat is even all over the egg. Repeat for the rest of the eggs

  • 5.   Into the first of three separate bowls add the oat fiber or substitute as suggested in the ingredients

  • 6.   Into a second bowl, beat 2 eggs until well whisked

  • 7.   Into a third bowl combine the almond flour, psyllium flour and grated parmesan cheese. Blend well

  • 8.   Doing one egg at a time, first roll the egg in bowl 1, completely covering the meat

  • 9.   Then place into the beaten eggs in bowl 2 and roll to coat completely

  • 10.   Place into bowl 3 and coat well with the crumb mixture. Repeat until all six eggs are done

  • OPTION 1 FOR COOKING: OVEN METHOD
  • 11.   place wire rack into the lower third of oven and preheat to 400 F or 200 C

  • 12.   place in an oven proof pan or baking sheet and bake for 35 minutes

  • 13.   Remove from oven and place on a plate to cool

  • OPTION 2 FOR COOKING: FRYING METHOD
  • 14.   In a small deep pot, place enough oil to cover half of the egg. Heat oil to about 300 F or 150 C

  • 15.   With a slotted spoon, place the egg into the hot oil and fry until the bottom is golden

  • 16.   Using the slotted spoon turn the egg. Keep turning the egg frequently to ensure that the sausage meat fries properly; this should take about 5 to 6 minutes

  • 17.   Repeat until all the eggs are done

  • 18.   Place on a plate to cool before serving

  • OPTIONAL AIOLI – NOT PART OF MACROS
  • 19.   Take equal parts of full fat mayonnaise and your choice of salsa, Dijon mustard, or sriracha sauce. Mix each in a separate bowl and serve with the Scotch eggs. Enjoy!

Hi Louise! I”m glad that you like the Scotch Eggs. I was introduced to them while traveling in Scotland several years ago. Thank you for adding them to your list of approved foods! Let me know if there is anything that you crave that would be an addition for my recipes, that you think others might enjoy. I am always looking for inspiration and for what people would need. Cheers!
