Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 egg, beaten (for coating)
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil spray
Instructions
Place 6 large eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Remove the eggs from heat and transfer them to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes to stop the cooking process. Gently peel the eggs and set them aside.
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork sausage, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.
Divide the sausage mixture into 6 equal parts. Flatten each portion into a thin patty using your hands.
Carefully wrap each peeled egg with a sausage patty, ensuring that the meat covers the egg completely and is patted down smoothly.
Dip each sausage-wrapped egg into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking oil.
Place the coated eggs on the prepared baking sheet and spray their tops lightly with cooking oil spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the sausage is cooked through and the outside is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy your low carb Scotch eggs warm or at room temperature.
