My first exposure to crispy, greasy, delicious Keto Scotch Eggs was on YouTube. The normal recipe dredges the meat wrapped egg in wheat flour and is then deep-fried. I was left inspired but also wondering how to make a healthier gluten-free and keto version. My second thought was if they can be keto-friendly, can they be simplified further for a carnivore diet?
Three things inspired me to make this recipe. My love for meat, my love for eggs, and my love for a good recipe challenge!
