Ingredients
- 9 large Eggs
- 1 pound of Ground Pork
- 2 tablespoons of Sage, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon of Mustard, ground
- 1 teaspoon of Salt
- ½ teaspoon of Pepper, ground
- ½ teaspoon of Fennel, ground
- 2 ounces of Parmesan Cheese, grated
How to Make Keto Scotch Eggs
- Place eight eggs into a large saucepan and fill with hot tap water, just enough to cover the eggs.
- Place over high heat. Once bubbles appear, set your timer for 12 minutes (for firm yolks). When the timer goes off, carefully drain the hot water and place your eggs into a bowl of ice water (or leave them under cold water) for 8-10 minutes until they are cool enough to peel.
- Gently peel the eggs and set them aside.
- Preheat the oven to 190C/370F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the pork, sage, mustard powder, salt, pepper, and fennel in a mixing bowl. Mix well.
- Split the mixture into eight evenly-sized balls.
- One at a time, place a ball of sausage onto cling film, cover it with a piece of parchment, and roll it into a small oval, keeping the center slightly thicker than the ends.
- Remove the parchment, place a boiled egg into the center, and press the sausage around it evenly. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
- Place the remaining egg into a bowl and whisk. In a separate bowl, place the parmesan.
- Dip each sausage-coated egg into the egg, then bread with the parmesan. Place onto the prepared cookie sheet and repeat with the remaining eggs.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the parmesan begins to brown.
- Serve immediately.

Hi! Want to make these tomorrow. How many days do these last in the refrigerator? Can you freeze them? Thanks!
Hi Alice, you can put them in the fridge for up to 3 days but you can’t freeze them, unfortunately.
Absolutely delicious, I mixed sesame seeds in the cheese, loved these scotch eggs
Thank you for your kind words Julie
These are delicious! We love them but How do you re-heat these?
Hi Bernadette,
A couple of minutes in the microwave or 15-20 minutes in a 160C/320F oven should do the trick! I’m so glad that you enjoy them!!
Made these this evening and they are delicious! I grounded up some Hot n Spicy pork rinds and mixed them with shredded Parmesan for the coating. Yum! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
