    Hearty and savory, these Instant Pot Keto Scotch Eggs are a yummy paleo breakfast that is high in healthy fats and extremely low in carbs.

    A tasty breakfast that will keep your taste buds happy and your tummy full all morning.

    Keto & Paleo Scotch egg made in the Instant Pot.

    Making keto & paleo-friendly Scotch eggs in the Instant Pot is a breeze, and these can be made in advance and reheated for a quick, satisfying breakfast.

    These are easier to make in the Instant Pot than in other methods that I have tried. And ther are fewer dishes to wash since you only use the IP.

    If you don't own an Instant Pot, then I also have a baked version of Scotch eggs here: Baked Low Carb Scottish Eggs

    Keto & Paleo Scotch egg made in the Instant Pot.

    You can pressure cook the eggs, peel the eggs, then mold the ground sausage around the eggs, brown them in Saute mode, and pressure cook the browned Scotch eggs to finish.

      Made this tonight followed recipe... only change I made was I used large eggs and cooked the eggs 3 minutes in the IP 3 minutes natural release and then ice bath (they looked like eggs in picture) not the 5/5 minutes. Also served with keto Hollandaise sauce. Delicious!
