Scotch Eggs
First let me explain. I am trying to use what I have at home with a normal family. So some of the items I use will be higher in points.
For this one you can use other meat to wrap around the egg.
The Butterball Turkey breakfast sausage is 2 points for 2 oz
The Jennie O is 3 points for 2 1/2 oz
The Jimmy Dean Pork breakfast sausage is 7 points for 2 oz
One more option which would be to purchase the leanest ground turkey and add to your own breakfast spices for sausage. I found some at the Amazon.com. If I had all this, then this would be what I would have used.
This is for the blue plan. and boiled eggs are 0 points.
The choice is all yours and your plan and your points. 7 is still okay for me, because I only eat one and it is filling enough. The are good cold also. So matter what meat you use it is all the same technique.
The Menu:
Scotch Eggs (ww blue - this recipe and with the jimmy dean - 7 points an egg)
The players:
1lb of jimmy dean breakfast sausage ( I doubled mine)
8 hardboiled and peeled eggs.
Pam spray
The game:
Cut the sausage up into 2oz portions.
Spray your hand with a little pam spray or non-stick, makes it easier to mold onto egg.
Take 2 oz and patty down a bit in your hand and lay egg in it.
Carefully squoosh and mold it like a cover on the egg.
It will make 8 with the 1 lb, but I double it for a large family. Plus they are very good cold.
Spray air fryer and drop in 6 and cook 360 for 10 min. (go in once and turn over gently) If you want browner, then step up the heat to 400. for another 2-4 minutes.
** make sure all of the egg is covered.
If you do it in a regular oven, spray pan, or parchment, or foil and the lay in eggs, Bake 350 for 20 minutes and turn over in middle also.
The reward:
There are such a hearty fast quick pack of protein. What could be better than sausage and an egg.
These also are a great idea for meal planning. You can trim the points down and add a little fruit and you have a complete meal.
