Carnivore Scotch Eggs

Boiling the Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 7 minutes for a slightly soft yolk or 8-9 minutes for a firmer yolk. Once done, remove the eggs from the hot water and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool.

Peeling the Eggs: Once the eggs are cooled, carefully peel off the shells. Set aside.

Preparing the Sausage Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork sausage with salt, pepper, and any optional herbs or spices you desire. Mix well until the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the sausage.

Forming the Scotch Eggs: Divide the sausage mixture into 4 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a thin patty. Place a boiled egg in the center of each patty and gently wrap the sausage around the egg, ensuring it is completely covered.

Air Frying: Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (356°F) for about 5 minutes. Once preheated, place the wrapped eggs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between each one. Cook in the air fryer for 12-15 minutes, or until the sausage is cooked through and golden brown.

Serving: Once cooked, remove the carnivore Scotch eggs from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature as a delicious carnivore-friendly snack or meal.
