What are Scotch Eggs?
So what is a Scotch Egg , exactly? A Scotch Egg is an egg that has been hard-boiled, encased in sausage meat, rolled in some form of breading , and then baked or fried.

In the UK, Scotch Eggs are usually eaten covered with flour and egg wash and then coated with breadcrumbs. I wanted to make these Keto Scotch Egg s low carb, gluten-free while reducing the number of ingredients needed.

It’s perfectly crispy on the outside while being deliciously creamy on the inside.
Keto Scotch Eggs Recipe Variations

No cream of anything soup in this Keto Broccoli Chicken Casserole . No potato chips on top, unlike in your typical chicken divan casserole.
Just good, wholesome, all-natural, and clean food.
