To commit to this new taste explosion, some tweaks will be required. Obviously, my go-to spices of garlic and onion would be a bad call. So here's what I'm adding instead:
Blueberries and almond butter combined |
- 2 eggs
- splash of coconut milk
- cinnamon
- cardamom
- nutmeg
- dash of vanilla extract
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 large spoonful crunchy almond butter
- 1 medjool date
- ghee and/or coconut oil for skillet
Directions:
- Whisk together eggs, coconut milk, and spices to taste
- Melt a combination of ghee and coconut oil in skillet, only enough to coat the pan and the sides
- Once skillet is warmed, pour eggs in and swirl around (the swirl is the secret to getting the eggs to cook evenly and thinly)
- While eggs are cooking, smoosh together (very technical term) blueberries and almond butter. The blueberries will release a lot of juice, so the almond butter will get everything to thicken a little more
- Chop up medjool date, keep separate
- Give your eggs a few swirls as they cook to avoid any pockets from forming
- When the eggs are about 70% done and just starting to peel away from the skillet, add the dates and the blueberry butter mixture
- Let some of the juice cook off before flipping over (keeps it from being too runny), give it a flip to let everything brown a little on the other side (only for a minute or two), and flip back
- Fold in half and serve
Almost ready to flip over... |
And now that I've taken a couple bites?
Yep. I'm a mad genius. |
It tastes like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, only without the crap in the average peanut butter and jelly sandwich! (Peanuts, gluten, excessive sugar, and the chance that you're eating a butt-ton of chemicals too.)
Because it has berries and a medjool date, it's higher in sugars (natural sugars, but nonetheless sugars) than my usual omelets filled with veggies and meats. This will probably be an occasional change-up and not a regular thing.
Conclusion?
YUMMY!!!!!
That's sounds so good I *almost* don't miss the bread!
ReplyDeleteI was incredibly impressed. Adding spices to the eggs first is what I think made the whole dish work.
