Keto Scotch Eggs
You’re sure to love this gastropub staple—soft-boiled eggs enveloped in seasoned sausage meat, then breaded and cooked to crispy perfection. It’s great for breakfast or an anytime snack! When wrapping the egg in the sausage, make sure it’s evenly wrapped to avoid splitting during cooking. If you’re struggling wrapping the egg, try covering your work surface with oiled plastic wrap and pressing the balls flat on there, rather than in your hand. Want an extra punch? Serve the eggs with mustard, adjusting macros accordingly. Cooked scotch eggs keep, covered and refrigerated, for 3 days.
