Air fryer Scotch eggs are easy to make using this recipe. Served with a homemade mango chutney dipping sauce, they make a great brunch dish!

Ingredients

3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons mango chutney (such as Patak's®)
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon curry powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pound pork sausage (such as Jimmy Dean®)
6 eggs, hard-boiled and shelled
1/3 cup flour
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup panko bread crumbs
cooking spray

Directions

1 Make the dipping sauce: Combine yogurt, chutney, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, curry powder, and cayenne in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
2 Make the Scotch eggs: Divide pork sausage into 6 even portions. Flatten each portion into a thin patty. Place 1 hard-boiled egg in the middle of each patty and wrap sausage around eggs, sealing all sides. Set aside.
3 Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C).
4 Place flour in a small bowl, beaten eggs in another small bowl, and panko on a plate. Dip each sausage-wrapped egg into flour, then dip into beaten egg, letting the excess drip off. Roll in panko and place on a plate.
5 Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange eggs in the basket in a single layer without overcrowding; cook in batches if necessary. Cook in the preheated air fryer for 12 minutes, turning eggs over halfway through. Repeat with remaining eggs.
6 Serve with dipping sauce.
