Ingredients
- 6 hard boiled eggs
- 500 g ground/minced pork or beef, or lamb
- 2 tsp herbs of choice optional
- 1 tsp onion flakes to garnish (optional)
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Boil the eggs as instructed above.
- Mix the ground pork meat with the herbs, spices and salt.
- Flatten a small handful as shown in the video. Place a boiled egg on top and start to mold the meat around the eggs. Add more meat if required to ensure the boiled egg is completely covered.
- Press firmly to help the meat adhere to the egg.
- Place on a lined baking sheet and brush each Scotch egg with olive oil or beaten raw egg and sprinkle onion flakes, crushed pork rinds, almond or coconut flour herbed mixture (optional).
- Bake at 180C/350F for 15-20 minutes, or until golden on all sides. You may wish to turn the keto Scotch eggs once whilst cooking to make sure they are golden all over.

Notes
- I use lean meat for the keto Scotch eggs recipe. With less fat to render and melt while cooking, it makes sure the meat casing doesn't split during cooking.
- Nutrition is for the basic keto Scotch eggs recipe. Flavors, spices, and keto bread crumbs are optional and in addition to this. For example, add the following if used in the recipe or as a garnish.

- Parmesan grated/shredded 1 tsp = 0.9g net carbs
- Curry powder 1 tsp = 0.1g net carbs
