primal scotch eggs

One of the first things that I was brave enough to eat following years of vegetarianism was a scotch egg.  So, to make it more primally acceptable, I simply changed the breadcrumbs for almond flour and a bit of parmesan thrown in for good measure.

Ingredients:
4 eggs (hard boiled and cooled)
4 sausages
1 egg - beaten
30g almond flour
20g grated parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1tbs worcestershire sauce
 pepper to season

Turn the oven on the pre-heat to 190C
1. squeeze sausage meat out of the skin into a bowl, mush in the worcestershire sauce.
2. Mix together parmesan, almond flour, cayenne pepper and black pepper to season.
3. Get yourself organised for the next stage - sausage meat in one bowl (I divided it into 4 balls ready to go), beaten egg in another.
4. It helps to have wet hands to manipulate the sausage meat.  I found it easiest to flatten one of the sausage meat balls that I had into my hand and then formed the sausage meat around the egg. Dip into the beaten egg and then roll in the almond flour mix. It is best to rinse your hands after each egg.
5. Bake in the oven for 30 mins, or until golden brown.  Keep an eye on this as almond flour can burn quickly!
