Baked Scotch Eggs

Servings: 4-8

Note: Scotch Eggs are a great change of pace from plain eggs. They tend to be a bit high in fat – especially when deep fried! – so in this version, we add some leaner ground meat and bake them. Feel free to experiment with different combinations of meat and seasonings!

Ingredients:
1 lb ground (turkey) sausage
1 lb ground chicken (or turkey) breast (lean ground beef also works)
1-2 Tb tomato paste (optional – makes the scotch eggs taste like pizza!)
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp sage
1/2 c almond flour (or gluten free breadcrumbs)
1 Tb potato or rice starch
8 eggs, boiled, peeled & cooled
1 egg (not cooked!), whisked in a small bowl

Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine ground meat, (tomato paste,) and seasonings. Divide into 8 portions.
2. In a smaller bowl, combine almond flour with starch.
3. “Wrap” each egg in a portion of meat, making sure to cover completely.
4. Dip each Scotch Egg into beaten egg, then roll in flour-starch mixture.
5. Place Scotch Eggs into the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour to ‘set’.
6. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.  Bake eggs until meat is cooked through; about 30 minutes.
