Basic Egg Loaf

For those who don’t know, this is keto/low carb french toast! Today, I made french toast dippers in my corn stick cast iron pans (and they turned out better than I have ever made them).

This is one of the easiest recipes! It’s full fat cream cheese, eggs, and melted butter in a ratio is 2:2:1. That means it can easily be adjusted up or down!

Basic Egg Loaf

Notes

Basic Egg Loaf
8 ounces full fat cream cheese
8 eggs
4 ounces butter, melted
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Once all of the ingredients are at room temperature, place them all in a bowl and blend until smooth. You can use a Kitchen Aid, a food processor, a blender, a stick blender, etc.
Pour into a greased baking dish (just about any will work: loaf pan, 13×9 casserole, muffin tins, etc.) and bake 30 to 45 minutes (or until brown).

Horseradish Deviled Eggs (made them and changed it up)

Well, I finally got around to making these but changed it up a bit and LOVE THEM! A side note: I noticed, when I checked the original recipe in my post last week, I neglected to include the link to the actual recipe. If you notice that on others, please let me know.
Here’s the original recipe: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Ham-and-Horseradish-Stuffed-Eggs-10205
And here’s what I did:
6 Eggs
2 Tablespoons Mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon Sour Cream
2 teaspoons prepared Horseradish
1/2 teaspoon Grainy Mustard
1 slice thick-cut Bacon (streaky or whatever kind you have), minced
Salt and Pepper to taste
Same directions as any deviled eggs (hard boil the eggs, peel, slice in half, dump the yolks in a bowl, mash them, mix with the rest of the ingredients, then fill up the egg white halves). Let them sit in the refrigerator for about half an hour to let the flavors blend. YUM! Great breakfast! 🙂

Broccoli Cheese Waffles – My Attempt

I know I reblogged this recipe just a few days ago but I had to try making it NOW.  Well, I originally made this video for a small group of friends (that’s why the quality of the camera work is lacking) but thought I would share my experience with all of you.  I will make these again but like Shannon did!


Here’s the recipe:
http://theprimitivepalate.com/2015/02/23/broccoli-cheese-waffles/
Ingredients:
1 head of fresh broccoli (you will only need 1 cup processed)
1 cup mozzarella shredded cheese
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
2 whole eggs
2 tablespoons Mrs. Dash Spice (I like garlic & herb)
2-3 tablespoons fresh chives
2-3 tablespoons fresh parsley
And here’s what Shannon (mydiabetesandme) came up with:

Egg Fast (from I Breathe … I'm Hungry)

So, this week Melissa from I Breathe … I’m Hungry has been on an egg fast and I’ve read every single one of her posts.  I was curious how she would be able to do it without getting so sick of eggs (I do and I don’t eat nearly enough to survive JUST on eggs for even one day).  Some of the recipes she came up with are PERFECT for a keto diet (High fat, low carb, moderate protein) and anyone on Atkins who is trying to work up something different to add to their menu.
So, here are her posts from this week:
Basic explanation of her egg fast.

Portuguese Grilled Cheese Sandwich

I say Portuguese because a friend shared this recipe (which was translated via Google). I do not have the original URL for this.
Here’s the translated version:
The wonderful afternoon snack! !
2 eggs
2 tbsp grated cheese
Salt to taste
1cc yeast
1 tbsp olive oil
Beat with a fork and take the micro for 3 minutes.
Open the bread in half and fill with ham and mozzarella and take the sandwich until golden brown and enjoy!
Untranslated for those who read Portuguese:
Lanchinho da tarde maravilhoso! !!
2 ovos
2 cs queijo ralado
Sal a gosto
1cc de fermento
1 cs azeite
Bater com um garfo e levar ao micro por 3 minutos.
Abrir o pão ao meio e rechear com presunto e mussarela e levar para a sanduicheira até dourar e bom apetite!
Anyway, I figured the 1 cc of yeast was 1 teaspoon, since it translated “cs” into tablespoons.
So, I made this. I did 2. One to do like a grilled cheese on my stove and a second to cook in a sandwich maker. I did everything per the instructions, except added a little garlic powder to one batch.
I microwaved this in one of these Ziploc containers, since it more closely resembles the size and shape of a piece of white bread:

This is what it looked like after coming out of the microwave (just about thought it was going to spill over the top but it deflated quickly).

I just put cheese in the middle, after slice in half lengthwise.  Then commenced cooking.  Here is the one on the stove top griddle:
And here’s the second one after I removed it from the sandwich maker:
The consensus between my husband and myself?  It’s a greasy dense omelet.  I’m not sure what (if anything) the yeast did in the recipe.  If I had to choose a cooking method, I prefer the stove top griddle.  I initially was going to say I wouldn’t make these again but now that they have cooled off a bit, the griddle one, if doctored up with vanilla and cinnamon, could probably fool my brain into thinking it was french toast.  I might have to try that!  Anyway, if you try this, tweak it, and love it, let me know how you did it!  🙂
