Instructions
Creating Air Fryer Scotch Eggs at home is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Eggs: Place 6 large eggs in a pot of water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 6-7 minutes for soft-boiled eggs. Immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let cool for about 5-10 minutes, then peel carefully.
2. Season the Sausage: In a mixing bowl, combine sausage meat with mustard powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and chopped parsley. Mix until well blended.
3. Wrap the Eggs: Divide the sausage mixture into 6 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a disk and wrap it around a peeled egg, ensuring that the egg is completely encased. Make sure there are no gaps.
4. Coat the Eggs: Roll the sausage-wrapped eggs in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Ensure a thick layer coats each egg, then transfer to a plate.
5. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
6. Air Fry the Eggs: Lightly spray the coated eggs with olive oil. Place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching. Cook for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Check for Crispness: If desired, you can flip the eggs halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
8. Remove and Cool: Carefully remove the Scotch eggs from the air fryer and let them cool slightly.
9. Serve: Slice in half to reveal the beautifully cooked egg inside, and enjoy!
