Ingredients

• 6 pieces Large eggs
• 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 1 pound Ground pork sausage
• 0.5 cup Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
• 2 pieces Eggs, beaten
• 2 cups Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a boil. Carefully lower the 6 eggs into the water and boil for exactly 8 minutes for semi-soft centers or 10 minutes for fully cooked centers.

Step 2

Once done, transfer the boiled eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5 minutes. Gently peel the eggs under cool running water and set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the ground pork sausage, almond flour, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 4

Divide the sausage mixture into 6 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a disc and carefully wrap it around each peeled egg, ensuring the entire egg is covered evenly. Smooth any seams by rolling it gently between your palms.

Step 5

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with almond flour, another with beaten eggs, and the third with gluten-free breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Take each sausage-wrapped egg and roll it first in the almond flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with gluten-free breadcrumbs. Ensure each egg is evenly coated.

Step 7

Heat olive oil in a deep frying pan to about 350°F (175°C). Carefully lower each Scotch egg into the hot oil and fry for about 5 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Fry in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 8

Once cooked, transfer the eggs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your gluten-free Scotch eggs as a delightful snack or part of a main meal.
