These delicious scotch egg have an interesting history you can read about the culinary history ofscotch eggs here. What are scotch eggs? They’re basically hard boiled eggs that are wrapped in sausage and then deep fried. There’s so many variations of scotch eggs from coating them with bread crumbs and even baking them.

How to Make Low Carb Baked Scotch Eggs

Start by wrapping sausage around hard boiled eggs that are peeled.
For low carb versions, you can skip any type of coating or use crushed pork rinds or almond flour.
If you don’t care about carbs, you can use regular bread crumbs.
Lightly spray outside of sausage and bake (skip the spraying if using pork rinds otherwise it will be a little too greasy). Recipe details are in the recipe box below that you can print out.
If the sausage outside the scotch eggs split during cooking, it’s because you used a high fat sausage that shrinks or you didn’t wrap with enough sausage evenly. But it still taste great regardless if the sausage splits during cooking or not.

Low Carb Baked Scotch Eggs

Yield: 6 servings

Prep Time: 15 minutes mins

Cook Time: 30 minutes mins

Total Time: 45 minutes mins

Ingredients

1 pound (454 g) uncooked bulk sausage
5-6 hard boiled eggs , peeled
1-2 large raw eggs , beaten
3/4 cup (180 ml) breading , or more if needed (crushed pork rinds, almond flour or coconut flour for low carb)
oil spray , for coating

For serving:

Mustard and/or hot sauce

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F/205°C . Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper.
Divide the sausage into 5 or 6 equal parts, depending on how thick you want the sausage to wrap around the egg.
Flatten each portion into a thin patty about 4” wide. Lay boiled egg in center and wrap sausage around the whole egg. Repeat for all eggs.
Dip the sausage-wrapped eggs in the beaten raw egg(s), then in breading *see headnote. If using almond or coconut flour or aren’t using any coating at all, spray outside of wrapped eggs evenly with oil spray. You don’t need to spray the eggs if using pork rinds for the coating.
Bake at 400°F/205°C for about 25-30 minutes, or until sausage is fully cooked. The thicker the sausage layer, the longer it takes to cook.
Cut in half and serve with mustard swipe on top of yolk. Add hot sauce, too, if you want. YUM!

Notes

TIP:
You can add additional flavor to your sausage by mixing it with some Worcestershire, fresh parsley and other spices. If not, simple bulk sausage still tastes great!
For fewer calories, you can omit the coatings (beaten egg & breading).
