Storage
Fridge: 3-4 days.

Ingredients
5 Hardboiled Eggs (medium is best but large also work - the mince may split a little)
500g Pork Mince 5% Fat - this can be replaced by any other mince e.g. turkey
1 Large Egg
50g Golden Milled Linseed/Flaxseed (or replace this for ground pork scratchings!)
Seasoning to taste - e.g. garlic, paprika, mixed herbs, chilli flakes, Kashmiri chilli, Curry Blend... the options are endless!
Directions
Preheat the oven to 200Ā°C.
Boil, cool, and peel the eggs.
Mix the linseed with the seasoning of your choice in a bowl.
Mix the minced pork with a few herbs and spices to suit your taste.
Divide the meat into 5 equal portions (around 100g per egg) and wrap the egg, completly covering it with the mince.
Roll the egg in the linseed mix to cover the surface.
Bake at 200Ā°C for around 20-25 minutes. The scotch eggs may split slightly whilst baking if you're using large eggs.

These were fab, bit scary as I have never deep fried before at all, had a tea towel ready, but after watching Marks video I felt more at ease trying these, not as good as my mums but to be Keto friendly they are excellent š
Hiya i found these in the WTF book not FFS, the recipe here on the webpage is also bit diff but no biggie. Going to make for a long walk i have.
Scotch Eggs were absolutely delicious. But please amend recipe book to WTF from FFS. xx
