LOW CARB SCOTCH EGGS
This was another staple when I was low carbing. You can change the level of spice by choosing a spicy sausage or hot pork rinds. They are very good with mustard or salsa.

WICKLEWOOD'S ANGLESEY EGGS
If you are trying to cut back on your fat content you could always cook your leeks in a little water instead of butter, but you will need to drain the leeks before adding them to the potatoes or the mixture will be too wet, and remember the overall amount of butter needed would be reduced to 2oz for the cheese sauce. Prep time includes boiling the potatoes and eggs

WICKLEWOOD'S GLUTEN FREE LEMON SURPRISE
I have tried many recipes for different variations of lemon surprise puddings, and delicious as they are, none of them transferred well to being gluten free. The egg whites are what helps in this recipe, however, it is the ban Marie that is key to its success.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your scotch eggs.
- Make sure your eggs are hard-boiled and cooled completely before wrapping them in sausage. This will help prevent the eggs from breaking.
- Use a light touch when wrapping the sausage around the eggs. You don't want to compact the sausage too much, or it will be difficult to cook evenly.
- Cook the scotch eggs over medium heat. This will help prevent the sausage from burning.
- Serve the scotch eggs warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
