**Low Carb Scotch Eggs Recipe**
**Ingredients:**
– 6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
– 1 pound ground pork sausage
– 1 teaspoon dried parsley
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1/2 cup almond flour
– 2 eggs, beaten
– Oil for frying
**Instructions:**
1. Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will be used later in the recipe.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground pork sausage with the dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the sausage.
3. Take a portion of the seasoned sausage mixture, about 1/4 cup, and flatten it in the palm of your hand. Place a peeled hard-boiled egg in the center of the sausage and gently wrap the sausage around the egg, ensuring it is completely covered and sealed. Repeat this process for the remaining eggs.
4. Roll each sausage-wrapped egg in the almond flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and coat it again with almond flour. This double coating will help create a crispy outer layer when frying.
5. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated eggs to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the sausage is cooked through and golden brown.
6. Transfer the partially cooked Scotch eggs to the prepared baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven. Bake for an additional 15-18 minutes, or until the sausage is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
7. Once done, remove the Scotch eggs from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. You can enjoy them warm or at room temperature, depending on your preference.
