Step 1

Place eggs into the air fryer using an egg insert and set it to 16 minutes at 260 degrees. Rinse in cold water and peel shells from the hard-boiled eggs.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the sausage, sage, onion flakes, and parmesan cheese. Mix well.

Step 3

Divide the sausage mixture into 8 balls. Flatten each ball with your palm, and then place a cooked egg in the middle. Use your hands to evenly cover the eggs with sausage.

Step 4

Grease the air fryer with oil, and then place half of the eggs in. If you have a larger air fryer, you may be able to cook them all at once, or just cook in batches. Do not crowd them.

Step 5

Cook for 11 minutes at 390 degrees, or until desired doneness. Remove Scotch eggs from air fryer and cut them in half to serve.

Step 6

Alternative Oven Directions: Place the sausage-covered eggs on a baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees for about 25-28 minutes until the sausage is cooked through.
