Your citizenship is irrelevant. The question you need to answer is -

'Is the operator of the aircraft you are flying EASA resident?'

If the answer is 'Yes' then you will need EASA papers and the papers required by the State of registry (for an N-reg that means FAA papers or only fly the aircraft in the EASA country that issued the EASA papers).

If it is your aircraft and you are resident in the UK you are caught. There are potential structures that could result in the operator being located somewhere else, but these are unlikely to be practical for a typical Piston GA aircraft.
