    Gluten Free Scotch Eggs with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

    This easy recipe for oven baked gluten free scotch eggs with honey mustard dipping sauce is made with boiled eggs, sausage and gluten free bread crumbs. The scotch eggs are delicious on their own, but the special sauce makes them even better. I used turkey sausage for mine, but you could also use pork sausage for a rich treat.

    a blue floral plate with five scotch eggs next to a small white bowl of honey mustard dipping sauce.

    For the recipe I split one pound of sausage into five equal sections. Then, I flatten the section in my hand as evenly as possible. I wrap the sausage around the boiled egg (with the shell removed) and make sure the entire outside of the egg is coated.

    Next in a small bowl I have one egg that is beaten. I roll the sausage coated egg in the beaten egg and then roll it in the gluten free bread crumbs. Place the final product on a baking sheet or in a baking dish and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The outside will be browned and the sausage will be completely cooked when the scotch egg is done.

    Ingredients

    • Turkey Sausage or Pork Sausage
    • Eggs
    • Gluten Free Bread Crumbs
    • Sea Salt
    • Coarse Ground Black Pepper
    • Mayonnaise
    • Spicy Brown Mustard
    • Honey

    Instructions

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

    In a small bowl mix the gluten free bread crumbs, salt and pepper.

    In another small bowl lightly beat the egg for rolling the scotch eggs in.

    Divide the pound of ground sausage into five portions. Take a portion and flatten it out evenly in your hand. Wrap the sausage patty around the egg until the entire surface of the egg is covered.

    Roll the sausage wrapped egg in the beaten and egg and then the crumb mixture. Place on a baking sheet. Repeat this step four more times. Be sure to leave room between each egg so they cook evenly.

    Bake the scotch eggs at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. The eggs will be browned and the juice around them will be clear or slightly browned when they are done.

    While the scotch eggs are baking make the honey mustard dipping sauce. In a bowl or jar add the mayonnaise, mustard and honey. Using a whisk or immersion blender blend the ingredients together until smooth and combined. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

    Let the scotch eggs cool slightly and then remove them from the baking sheet with a turner.

    Serve them immediately warm with the dipping sauce or refrigerate them for at least 2 hours and serve cold with the dipping sauce.

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 pound Ground Turkey Sausage or Pork Sausage
    • 5 Eggs, hard boiled and peeled
    • 1 large Egg, beaten
    • ¾ cup Gluten Free Bread Crumbs
    • ½ tsp. Sea Salt
    • ¼ tsp. Coarse Ground Black Pepper

    Dipping Sauce:

    • 1 cup Mayonnaise
    • ½ cup Spicy Brown Mustard
    • ¼ cup Honey

    Notes

    I like to save my mayonnaise jars for making sauces and dressings in. They work perfectly with an immersion blender and then one container can go directly into the fridge. I love less mess!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why is a Scotch egg called a Scotch egg?

    Mincing meat is also known as scotching. This recipe is made of eggs coated in minced or scotched meat, rolled in egg and then gluten free bread crumbs. Traditionally the recipe uses pork sausage, but I used turkey sausage for mine.

    Do I eat my scotch eggs hot or cold?

    This is really based on personal preference. I love to eat these gluten free scotch eggs hot, but traditionally scotch eggs are picnic or pub food and are served cold. I like to eat one warm right after I make them and then wrap the rest in tinfoil and have them cold the next day for breakfast.

    What is gluten cross contamination?

    If you aren't used to cooking gluten free you may not know that you can cross contaminate. You may have the best intentions to serve gluten free food for you family and friends, but still make them sick.

    You need to remember to make the gluten free food separately. Don't use the same bowls, spoons, mixer blade, etc. until they have been washed thoroughly with soap and water.

    I would start with making the gluten free snacks and then store them separately from the other snacks you make. By making the gluten free treats first you won't have to worry about cross contamination with the other yummy things you are making to serve.

    Ingredients

    • Jovial Farfalle Brown Rice Pasta
    • Olive Oil
    • Chili Lime Seasoning Blend
    • Sea Salt
    • Apple Cider Vinegar

    Instructions

    Cook the pasta per the instructions on the package.

    Drain the pasta and pour it into a mixing bowl. Immediately add olive oil and stir to help the pasta not clump together.

    Divide the pasta between two bowls and add the seasoning to each bowl. If you are only going to use one flavor you can use one bowl, but remember to divide the pasta into two batches for air frying.

    Add the first batch of pasta to the air fryer and air fry at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. At the five minute mark take the tray out and shake the pasta so it doesn't clump together. Place the tray back in the air fryer and let your pasta finish cooking.

    Pour the pasta chips into a bowl or onto a cookie sheet to let them cool.

    Follow the same instructions to cook the second batch of pasta chips.

    Serve plain or with your favorite dip. I served these with ranch dip.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I make gluten free pasta chips in the air fryer?

    Yes! My favorite pasta to use is Jovial Gluten Free Brown Rice Farfalle pasta. The brown rice pasta holds together the best when I shake is half way through cooking in the air fryer basket to separate the pieces of pasta.

    How long does it take to make gluten free pasta chips in the air fryer?

    Like many gluten free foods it takes a bit longer to make gluten free pasta chips that it does using regular wheat pasta. I cooked these chips at 400 degrees for ten minutes. At the five minute mark I pulled the air fryer basket out and shook the chips so they weren't clumped together.

    I let the pasta chips cook for another five minutes and then poured them into a bowl to cool. They will be very hot and continue to cook a bit after you have poured them out to cool.

    Top Tip

    You could really add any seasoning blend you want or omit the seasoning all together and just add some salt. It is key that you add enough olive oil so the pasta doesn't clump together. This will help when you open the air fryer half way through cooking and shake the pasta to separate it.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do gluten free chocolate breakfast cookies take longer to bake?

    Yes, gluten free chocolate breakfast cookies do tend to take longer to bake than cookies made with a gluten flour. The outside of the cookie will be browned, but they may not be cooked through in the center.
     
    If you are having this issue you can lower the oven temperature and bake the cookies a bit longer. I also only bake one baking sheet at a time of gluten free cookies. They need to be evenly heated to cook correctly.

    How long will these breakfast cookies last?

    These cookies will last about a week in an air tight container. You can store them on the counter or in the refrigerator. You can also freeze these cookies in a freezer safe container for up to a month.
     
    I like to freeze a few cookies in a container so I can take them out and add them to lunches. They are great to have in case I haven't planned ahead with something else. I also like to double the batch so we can eat half and freeze half.

    Why Almond Flour Works for Gluten Free Bread

    Almond flour is one of the best alternatives to traditional wheat flour for gluten free baking. Here is why it works so well for bread.

    • It is naturally gluten free and grain free. Almond flour is made from blanched almonds ground to a fine powder. There is no wheat, no gluten, and no grains involved.
    • It gives bread a moist and tender crumb. Almond flour has a higher fat content than traditional flour which keeps baked goods moist and prevents the dry crumbly texture that plagues so many gluten free breads.
    • It is packed with nutrients. Almond flour is high in protein, healthy fats, vitamin E, and magnesium. It also has fewer carbohydrates per serving than traditional flour.
    • It does not require special techniques. Unlike some gluten free flours, almond flour does not need xanthan gum or psyllium husk to create structure in a quick bread like this one. The eggs provide all the structure and lift you need.

    Tips for Success

    A few simple tips will help you get the best results from this recipe every time.

    • Use finely ground blanched almond flour. Coarser almond meal will give your bread a grittier texture. Look for super fine almond flour for the best results.
    • Beat your eggs until light and frothy. This is the most important step in this recipe. Fully beaten eggs create air in the batter which gives the bread a lighter texture and better rise.
    • Use farm fresh eggs if you can. I use duck eggs from our farm which give the bread a slightly darker and richer color. Any large eggs work beautifully but farm fresh eggs will give you the best flavor.
    • Let the bread cool completely before slicing. Almond flour bread slices much more cleanly once it has cooled fully. Slicing it warm may cause it to crumble.
    • Store it in the refrigerator. Since this bread has no preservatives it keeps best in an airtight container in the refrigerator rather than on the counter.

    Serving Suggestions

    This Italian almond flour bread is incredibly versatile. Here are some of my favorite ways to serve it.

    • Toasted with butter. This is the simplest and most satisfying way to enjoy this bread. Toast a slice until golden and spread with salted butter while it is still warm.
    • As a sandwich bread. This bread is sturdy enough to hold up to sandwich fillings. Turkey, avocado, and a little Dijon mustard on toasted slices makes a great lunch.
    • As gluten free garlic bread. Slice the loaf, brush each slice with garlic butter, and broil until golden. The Italian herbs and parmesan in the bread make it taste like garlic bread was always the plan.
    • Dipped in olive oil. Slice and serve alongside a bowl of olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping. The Italian herb flavor makes this a natural pairing.
    • With soup. This bread pairs beautifully with gluten free soups and stews. Use it to soak up the broth in a bowl of tomato soup or chicken vegetable soup.

    Storage

    Store this bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. Because there are no preservatives it will spoil quickly at room temperature, especially in warm weather.

    For longer storage this bread freezes beautifully. Wrap individual slices in foil and store them in a freezer safe bag for up to three months. Defrost slices at room temperature or toast them directly from frozen.

    Top Tip

    Use a stand mixer with the whisk attachment to beat your eggs and do not rush this step. Fully beaten eggs are what give this bread its structure and lift since almond flour has no gluten to create that on its own. Beat the eggs until they are visibly light, frothy, and increased in volume before adding any other ingredients. This single step makes the difference between a dense flat loaf and a bread that rises beautifully and slices cleanly.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I freeze this gluten free Italian almond flour bread?

    Yes! This bread freezes really well. Wrap individual slices in foil and store in a freezer safe bag or container for up to three months. Defrost at room temperature or toast directly from frozen.

    Can I make this bread without a stand mixer?

    Yes. A hand mixer works just as well. The key is beating the eggs until they are light and frothy before adding any other ingredients. Do not skip this step or try to mix by hand since fully beaten eggs are what give this bread its structure and rise.

    Why is my almond flour bread dense or flat?

    The most common reason is under beaten eggs. Make sure you beat the eggs until they are visibly light, frothy, and increased in volume before folding in the dry ingredients. Also check that your baking powder is fresh since old baking powder will not give the bread the lift it needs.

    Can I use this bread for garlic bread?

    Absolutely. It is one of my favorite ways to serve it. Slice the loaf, brush each slice with garlic butter, and broil until golden. The Italian herbs and parmesan already baked into the bread make it taste like garlic bread was always the plan.

    • 2 cups Almond Flour
    • 1 tsp. Baking Powder
    • ½ tsp. Xanthan Gum
    • ½ tsp. Sea Salt

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x5-inch metal loaf pan with coconut oil or butter. Set aside.

    Using the whisk attachment on your stand mixer beat the eggs until they are light and frothy. Add the melted butter and olive oil and blend into the eggs.
