Ingredients
- 6 sausages de-skinned, 100% organic meat – if possible
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon sage
- 1 pinch pepper
- 2 tablespoons ground almonds I use the almond meal left over from my almond milk recipe
- 100 g mixed seeds
- 6 large eggs + 1 egg whisked in a separate bowl
Instructions
- Turn oven on to 180° C.
- Place 4 large eggs in to boiling water for 6 minutes (medium eggs: 5 minutes, small eggs: 4 minutes). Take off heat and place in to ice-cold water whilst you carry on with the rest of the preparations.
- In a blender, add the almond meal, pinch of salt and mixed seeds, blitz until coarse and crumbly, place aside
- In the blender, add all sausage meat (make sure to de-skin beforehand), spices, salt and pepper, blend until fully combined and sticky.
- Peel the cold eggs, gently as they will still be soft-boiled.
- Now break sausage mixture in to 6 balls. Using the palm of your hand create a “cup” flat patty shape. Place one egg into the middle and work the sausage mixture around it making sure to fully seal all the sides.
- Now, dip the ball in to the egg mix (1 whisked egg) and fully cover smoothing all the sides (this is how your meat and egg will stay bound)
- Roll the ball straight in to the mixed seeds / almond mixture into a shallow frying pan over high heat.
- Heat up about 1/2 cup olive oil and place scotch egg into the oil. Brown each side for around 1-2 minutes until golden brown, then place on to a baking sheet and bake for 5 – 6 minutes.
- Serve straight away with homemade chutney, rocket and avocado.

The only major thing I do differently for this recipe is, I roll the soft boiled eggs in almond flour mixed with a little bit of white pepper and salt before covering them in meat. It helps to adhere the meat to the egg easier.
And adds a layer of flavor.
Also, sometimes baked instead of fried.
