Choose your preferred low carb coating: Crushed pork rinds, almond flour or coconut flour. Make sure to spray the almond or coconut flour coating with olive oil. The thicker the sausage layer, the less likely it is to split during cooking. But if you do this, then just boil less eggs and increase cooking times to make sure sausage cooks all the way through. Scotch egg origins are quite interesting and you can read about the culinary history of scotch eggs here.

Ingredients

• 1 pound (454 g) uncooked bulk sausage
• 5-6 hard boiled eggs
• 1-2 raw eggs , beaten
• 1 cup (480 ml) coating choice (crushed pork rinds, almond flour, coconut flour or preferred coating *see notes below)
• Mustard and/or hot sauce oil spray , for coating

Equipment

• Air Fryer

Instructions 

• Peel hard boiled eggs. 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 sausage-wrapped egg in beaten raw egg, then in breading. Spray outside of coated egg evenly with oil.
• Air Fry at 400°F for 12-16 minutes, turn halfway through cooking. 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

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!
Coating Choice: If you don’t mind a few more carbs, bread crumbs, panko flakes, or crushed crackers work great as breading choices too. For fewer calories, you can omit the coatings (beaten egg & breading). The sausage-only outside is great, too, but make sure to spray outside of sausage with oil.
