For a richer flavor, use a high-quality sausage with herbs and spices. Ensure the hard-boiled eggs are completely cooled before wrapping them in sausage to prevent the sausage from cooking unevenly. If you don't have panko bread crumbs, regular bread crumbs can be used, but the texture will be slightly different. Adjust the cooking time based on your air fryer model. The sausage should reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Scotch Eggs are best served immediately while they are still warm and crispy.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Dipping Sauce (5 mins): In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mango chutney, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, curry powder, and cayenne pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, allowing the flavors to meld.
02
StepCraft the Scotch Eggs (20 mins): Divide the pork sausage into 6 equal portions. On a clean surface, flatten each portion into a thin, even patty. Gently place one hard-boiled egg in the center of each patty. Carefully wrap the sausage around the egg, ensuring it is completely sealed on all sides. Gently smooth the surface to create a uniform shape.
03
StepPrepare Breading Station (5 mins): Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the flour. In the second dish, add the lightly beaten eggs. In the third dish, spread the panko bread crumbs evenly.
04
StepBread the Eggs (10 mins): One at a time, gently roll each sausage-wrapped egg in the flour, ensuring it is lightly coated. Then, dip the floured egg into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, roll the egg in the panko bread crumbs, pressing gently to ensure they adhere evenly. Place the breaded eggs on a plate.
05
StepAir Fry the Scotch Eggs (12 mins): Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C). Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Arrange the breaded eggs in the basket in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd. You may need to cook them in batches. Air fry for 12 minutes, flipping the eggs halfway through, until they are golden brown and the sausage is cooked through. (6 minutes per side)
06
StepServe (2 mins): Carefully remove the air-fried Scotch Eggs from the basket. Serve immediately with the chilled mango chutney dipping sauce. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, if desired.
