SCOTCH EGGS! (Gluten Free, Low Carb)

I found this recipe a couple places, both very similar to each other.  I ended up adapting from this one here. I changed it a little though, as I usually do.  

These were better than expected. Hubs really liked them.  And they are quite filling.  A burst of breakfast flavor.  mmm.  I brought one for lunch today. lol.  Im excited about it.

• ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (I used Monterrey Jack and a little Mexican blend)
• 1 tsp poultry seasoning (I used Johnny Seasoning Salt instead)

6. Now separate your meat mixture into 6 patties.
7. Place your cooled, peeled, and dry hard boiled egg on a meat mixture patty, and roll in hands around your egg until covered and ball shaped.  (this was a little difficult but it eventually comes together)
