Ingredients
- 2 Large Eggs (Hardboiled)
- 1 Large Egg
- 2 Tbsp. Coconut Flour
- 2 Tbsp. Parmesan Cheese
- 4 Slices Bacon
- 1 Tbsp. Coconut Oil
- 1/2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
Instructions
- Get your previously finished 2 hardboiled eggs out.
- In a bowl, mix 2 Tbsp. Coconut Flour and 2 Tbsp. Parmesan Cheese.
- In another bowl, scramble 1 egg. We will be using this to help the breading stick.
- Get your little station ready to dip the eggs.
- We’re going to need to wrap the eggs in bacon. I do 1 horizontal wrap and 1 vertical wrap. Start by placing your egg at one end of the bacon strip.
- Wrap it all the way around.
- While holding the first wrap in place, begin to wrap around the other side of the egg.
- When you finish wrapping them, they should look like this.
- Dip your bacon-wrapped egg into the egg mixture, we’re going to do a double dip method.
- Dip your now coated bacon-wrapped egg into the parmesan and coconut flour.
- Now, back to the egg mixture Sorry for the blur! I was using greasy hands to shoot the picture, and let’s just say it’s pretty tough to do everything with 1 hand.
- Now finish up this scotch egg by doing the final dip in the parmesan and coconut flour.
- Do the same with your other scotch egg, they should look like this:
- In a pan, place 1/2 Tbsp. Olive Oil and 1 Tbsp. Coconut Oil.
- Turn the pan to medium-high heat, and wait until it gets hot.
- Once the pan is hot enough (it should sizzle if you drop a small piece of parmesan cheese into it), put your scotch eggs in the pan.
- It’s going to need a lot of babysitting. Once you start to smell a slight burning, turn the scotch egg to another side.
- Continue turning the egg onto different sides so that it can get cooked all the way around.
- We will need to get the sides of this cooked also, so don’t forget about them!
- Once you see that it’s been browned on all sides, turn your pan to low heat and start to allow the bacon to cook all the way through.
- This will take some time, and you will also have to rotate the scotch eggs to make sure the bacon is cooked on all sides.
- While you’re waiting, get a paper towel ready so you can drain the excess grease, allowing the shell to crisp up. Who does this pie think they are? PREPARE FOR DEATH BY BACON!
- Once you see that they’re ready, put them on top of the paper towels. Ha, take that pie!
- When the scotch eggs have cooled off a bit, you should notice their golden brown shell. It sure smells delicious!
- I put mine in the fridge and allow them to completely cool and harden up a little bit. This allows me to cut it in half. If you can’t wait, I suggest just digging in – using your fingers. Cutting it while they are hot is not the best idea as it can rip the bacon apart.
