🥚 Air-Fried Crispy Soft-Boiled Scotch Eggs 🌿

An absolute masterclass in thermal engineering! This recipe updates the traditional deep-fried pub favorite into a lighter, high-velocity convection classic. By wrapping a perfectly delicate, soft-boiled egg inside a thin, savory turkey sausage matrix, then locking it behind a seasoned Panko crust, we build a defensive heat shield. Under maximum convection air, the outer layer rapidly sets into a shattered crunch while the interior sausage cooks through flawlessly, leaving the center yolk thick, velvety, and molten.
