Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 400 grams lean turkey sausage
- 100 grams whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- olive oil spray
Instructions
Place 4 of the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool completely, then peel.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a bowl, mix together the turkey sausage, low-fat Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
Divide the sausage mixture into 4 equal portions.
Carefully wrap each peeled egg with a portion of the sausage mixture, making sure the entire egg is covered and the mixture is evenly distributed.
Spread the whole wheat breadcrumbs on a flat plate.
Beat the remaining 2 eggs in a shallow bowl.
Gently roll each sausage-covered egg in the beaten eggs, shaking off the excess, and then coat evenly with the whole wheat breadcrumbs.
Place the prepared eggs on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Lightly spray the Scotch eggs with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sausage is cooked through and the outside is golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. These Scotch eggs can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
