Paleo - Scotch Eggs

These are hearty, one was very filling.
Cut them in half and serve with something fun on the side,
like fried shredded rutabaga *smile*

 

Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken, turkey or pork Italian sausage
• 4 large eggs, hard boiled (not too large)
• 1/4 cup almond flour (just a little to coat the eggs)
• 1/2 bag of plain pork rinds pounded into crumbs. (optional)
• 1 raw egg  (optional)

1. Divide meat into 4 sections. Roll into balls and flatten with your palm into a pancake shape.
2. Roll the eggs in Almond flour. (this helps the meat stick to the egg)
3. Wrap each egg evenly in a portion of meat, being sure they are covered completely.  Roll it around in your hands a bit to ensure even sausage coating.
4. Option: Beat the remaining egg in a small bowl - Dip each egg/sausage ball in the beaten egg then coat thoroughly in pork rind crumbs.
5. Bake until golden brown on a cookie sheet (line with parchment paper for easy clean up) at 375°F; about 25 minutes, check and add 5-10 minutes until golden brown.

These keep really well in the fridge for a few days, just warm in the microwave.
Slice in half and eat like an apple . . . . great for on the go! You could fancy these up for a fun brunch treat, they make for such a cute presentation with the surprise egg inside.

 

 Add seasoning to the sausage to vary the recipe:

• Italian: Italian or Pizza seasoning
• Asian: Chinese 5-spice powder + coconut aminos (non-soy sauce)
• Moroccan: add Ras el Hanout
• Tex Mex: cumin & chili powder

Enjoy!

Baked egg in Avocado

Bake an Egg in an Avocado for a Fast and Healthy Breakfast Treat

Avocados are amazing things—they're delicious on their own, but they also have a lot of healthy fats, dietary fibers, and vitamins, and despite their high caloric value, they're remarkably easy to prepare. If you have an avocado that's too firm to use for something else, or you're just in the mood for something new and healthy for breakfast, slice it in half, remove the pit, and carve out a little space in the center. Crack an egg where the pit was, and bake. In a few minutes, you'll have a delicious, protein and vitamin-packed breakfast treat that's rich enough to keep you going all morning.

The recipe itself is pretty simple, and comes to us thanks to Life Hacker.com

• preheat oven to 425, have cast iron pan in there

• Slice avocado in half, take out pit

• take pan out, put avocado half on, crack egg in

• put whatever you want on top *Bacon!*

• place in oven and cook till your eggs [are done how you] desire
