Description
Air Fryer Scotch Eggs are an easy meal with a crispy crust, making them a perfect snack or quick breakfast.
Ingredients
- 6 large hard-boiled eggs
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 2 large eggs, whisked
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
Instructions
-
Prepare the hard-boiled eggs by following an Air Fryer Hard Boiled Egg recipe if needed. Peel and set aside.
-
Divide the raw sausage into six evenly sized patties. Flatten each portion and wrap it around an egg, ensuring the egg is completely covered. Repeat with all eggs.
-
Whisk two eggs in a small shallow dish and place breadcrumbs in another bowl.
-
Dip each wrapped egg into the whisked eggs, then coat it in breadcrumbs or panko crumbs.
-
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with nonstick oil spray or line it with air fryer parchment paper.
-
Place the eggs in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overcrowding.
-
Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 15-18 minutes, until the sausage is fully cooked and the coating is crispy and golden brown.
Notes
For a low-carb coating, substitute pork rinds or parmesan cheese for the breadcrumbs.
