Paleo Scotch Eggs Recipe (Oven Baked)
This recipe is gluten free, dairy free, soy free, keto and paleo.
Ingredients
- 5 large eggs (or medium eggs)
- 5 large uncooked sausages (or 15 small)
Paleo/gluten free coating
- 1/4 cup ground pork rinds
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
Instructions
- Place the uncooked eggs in a pot of boiling water carefully.
- Let eggs sit in hot water for 6 minutes until soft cooked.
- Once cooked, put eggs in ice-cold water to cool them down.
- Peel the eggs carefully and set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 400F.
- In a food processor or blender, grind up your pork rinds. You can also do this with a mortar and pestle.
- Mix the garlic powder, onion powder, and ground pork rinds in a bowl and set aside.
- Remove the sausage casing from the uncooked sausages. You can do this by running a knife lengthwise down the side of the sausage. Then you will be able to peel off the casing and remove the meat on the inside.
- Using your hands, break the sausage mixture apart and reform them into balls (should have 5 balls total, one for each egg).
- Using the palm of your hand, flatten the sausage balls into disk like shapes.
- Wet your hands with cool water for the next step. It will help to prevent the sausage from sticking to them.
- Gently place each cooked egg in the middle of a sausage disk and begin wrapping the sausage around. It may seem like the sausage wont fully enclose the egg, but keep gently pushing and spreading thicker areas around and eventually it will enclose the egg.
- Once wrapped, roll them in the pork rind mixture to coat.
- Place wrapped and coated eggs on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until sausage is cooked through.
- Serve immediately and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces!
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
