[TiMANimal]

Where have you been my whole 30 (Life)?!?!!? So good, dip them in your olive oli mayo!!!

I made some scotch eggs with home made sugar free spicey pork sausage and quail eggs & some home made dijon. Ballin.

I bet some horseradish mayo would be slammin too

How do you cook them?

I just saw the recipe in Well Fed - I've never tried them before but going to give them a go - I can think of no reason they wouldn't be delcious.

[TiMANimal]

I made a version…………

12 eggs hard boiled and peeled

2 raw eggs

1.5lbs lean ground beef

½ red onion – diced

4oz mushrooms – diced

1 large handful organic baby spinach – chopped finely

Salt – to taste

Pepper – to taste

Paprika – to taste

Red Pepper flakes – to taste

Garlic powder – to taste

1 cupcake pan – holds 12 (or 2 that hold six, need 12 places)

Coconut oil – enough to lightly grease a cupcake pan

Lightly grease cupcake pan(s) with coconut oil. Boil and peel eggs, set aside to cool. Take all other ingredients and mix by hand in a large bowl until well incorporated. Take a palm full of the mixture and flatten out thinly like a hamburger patty in your hand. Place a hardboiled egg in the center and start to fold the meat mixture around the egg. You may need more or less to cover the completely. Place egg in a cupcake pan. Repeat until all eggs all covered and put in the pan(s). I found 1.5lbs of meat to be almost not enough for 12 eggs as I like them fully covered and with plenty of meat on them. Next time I will probably use 2lbs for 12 eggs. It's not a science nor is there a set amount of meat to egg for this version. They came out great and are easy to reheat, eat cold or grab on the go.

I guess I should mention you need to bake them at 375 for about 20-25 minutes

[Derval]

So no attempt at a breadcrumb-like coating? interesting

any pics?

[TiMANimal]

No pics, sorry, I will next time

How do you cook them?

When I made mine I just covered the eggs with simple home made pork sausage (pork, spices) and baked them on a cookie sheet @ 375 until the meat was browned on the outside. Served with mustard.

The only thing I would do differently would be to stand the eggs 'up' so when you cut them in half the egg is even on both sides Or possibly pan fry them in coconut oil similar to the following recipe.

The Well Fed author has her recipe up on her website and it includes several photos.

Scotch Eggs

She says you can coat them with crushed pork rinds, which sounds rather decadent

[praxisproject]

The post on Well Fed does note that Whole9 doesn't support the crushed pork rind coating version, so skip that one if you're doing Whole30

In 1809 they used to serve them with gravy, if you want to try another version. I've also seen someone do an asian-inspired one with prawn meat for the meat coating.

If you must have a crust on the outside, I am sure almond flour would work! I love scotch eggs! I do a softer boiled egg for them, because I can't handle green yolks! I boil them for 6 minutes chill really really well and peel and continue. They are really yummy with mustard and they make great camping fare too.
