Bacon-Wrapped Scotch Eggs
Ingredients
- 1 lb / 454 g ground pork
- 1 Tbsp garlic salt
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- ¼ tsp ground sage
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 8 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
- 8 strips center cut bacon
- fresh sage leaves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F / 177 degrees C.
- In a medium bowl place ground pork, garlic salt, thyme, sage and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all spices are incorporated.
- Line a cutting board with plastic wrap. Divide pork into 8 equal portions and place evenly spaced onto plastic wrap. Top with more plastic wrap.
- Press down on pork to form ¼ inch thick patties. Remove plastic wrap. Place a hard-boiled egg on each patty and form pork around egg. Try to cover the egg completely with meat.
- Place strips of bacon onto cutting board. Tear fresh sage into ½ inch pieces and place 3 portions onto each bacon slice, equally spaced.
- Carefully roll the bacon around each egg, stretching the bacon with each turn. The bacon should cover the center of the egg. Place meat-wrapped eggs on parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake 30 to 35 minutes until ground pork is set and bacon is slightly crispy.
- Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
