These were really tasty. I've never had a real scotch egg, but we liked these!
Coconut oil or Ghee for frying
4 eggs
2 pounds lamb or pork sausage
8 TBS (2 TBS per egg) coconut flour, seasoned with spices
2 eggs, beaten
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat oil in a pan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).Place eggs in saucepan and cover with water. Bring to boil. Cover, remove from heat, and let eggs sit in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool and peel.
Flatten the sausage and make a patty to surround each egg. Coat the sausage with beaten egg. Roll in coconut flour to cover evenly. Fry until golden brown. Place on a cookie sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
