Air fryer Scotch eggs are easy to make! Plus, you get all the deliciousness without the mess and added fat of deep-frying. They make the perfect breakfast, brunch, or snack, especially when served with the mango chutney dipping sauce. Cook the eggs to your liking, either hard-boiled or slightly soft. You can’t go wrong.
Ingredients:
Dipping Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons mango chutney (such as Patak’s®)
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon curry powder
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper (Optional)
Scotch Eggs:
- 1 pound pork sausage (such as Jimmy Dean®)
- 6 eggs, hard-boiled and shelled
- ⅓ cup flour
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- cooking spray
Directions
- Make the dipping sauce: Combine yogurt, chutney, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, curry powder, and cayenne in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Make the Scotch eggs: Divide pork sausage into 6 even portions. Flatten each portion into a thin patty. Place 1 hard-boiled egg in the middle of each patty and wrap sausage around the eggs, sealing all sides. Set aside.
- Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Place flour in a small bowl, beaten eggs in another small bowl, and panko on a plate. Dip each sausage-wrapped egg into the flour, then dip into the beaten egg, letting the excess drip off. Roll in panko and place on a plate.
- Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange eggs in the basket in a single layer without overcrowding; cook in batches if necessary. Cook in the preheated air fryer for 12 minutes, turning eggs over halfway through. Repeat with remaining eggs.
- Serve with dipping sauce.
