How to Make Keto Scotch Eggs

Easy Keto Scotch Eggs Recipe - Low-Carb & Delicious (4)
  1. Place eight eggs into a large saucepan and fill with hot tap water, just enough to cover the eggs.
  2. Place over high heat. Once bubbles appear, set your timer for 12 minutes (for firm yolks). When the timer goes off, carefully drain the hot water and place your eggs into a bowl of ice water (or leave them under cold water) for 8-10 minutes until they are cool enough to peel.
  3. Gently peel the eggs and set them aside.
  4. Preheat the oven to 190C/370F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Add the pork, sage, mustard powder, salt, pepper, and fennel in a mixing bowl. Mix well.
  6. Split the mixture into eight evenly-sized balls.
  7. One at a time, place a ball of sausage onto cling film, cover it with a piece of parchment, and roll it into a small oval, keeping the center slightly thicker than the ends.
  8. Remove the parchment, place a boiled egg into the center, and press the sausage around it evenly. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
  9. Place the remaining egg into a bowl and whisk. In a separate bowl, place the parmesan.
  10. Dip each sausage-coated egg into the egg, then bread with the parmesan. Place onto the prepared cookie sheet and repeat with the remaining eggs.
  11. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the parmesan begins to brown.
  12. Serve immediately.
