Breakfast Scotch Eggs
Scotch eggs are not only tasty, but they are also super easy to make.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground breakfast sausage (preferably from pastured pork)
- 8 hard-boiled pastured eggs, peeled
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. Divide the meat into 8 equal portions.
3. Using your hands, form the meat around each egg.
4. Place on a Silpat lined baking sheet so they don't stick.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
6. Enjoy! I like mine with a little drizzle of real maple syrup or some gluten-free mustard!

Hi, my name is Kate.
I love food. Real food. We eat all of the things that nursing school taught me were bad for you: butter, eggs, bacon, and raw milk.
I am a Nurse, a Mom, and a Real Food loving blogger. Just trying to save the world.
Very clever idea. I never thought of baking them. It makes it much easier and more doable. Personally, I might cut the eggs in half before surrounding them with the sausage meat. It would make them less likely to roll around & sometimes I prefer smaller portions as an option.
I dip my bantam scotch eggs in beaten egg and cover with breadcrumbs before baking for 18 minutes to get a perfect runny yoke!
Can you freeze (for up to a month) before you bake them?
Sure!
