Instructions
- Boil the eggs for 4 minutes. Drain the saucepan of hot water, then immediately cover the eggs in cold water so they will be cool enough to be peeled.
- Peel the eggs and pat dry with kitchen paper. This will let the pork mince mixture to stick to the egg easier.
- Mix the pork mince with whichever herbs and spices you like.
- Get a small handful of the pork mince and flatten it in your hand, almost like making a very thin hamburger pattie. Place the egg onto the mince and slowly work the mince around the egg, massaging the mince to completely cover the egg.
- Place all the Paleo Scotch Eggs in a oiled baking tray, and cook for 30 minutes at 180C/350F.
Notes
- For most recipes, I use high fat meats, but scotch eggs hold together better if you use lean meat, otherwise the fat melts/renders out and the pork casing may split.
