Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / February 2005Favorite Way to Have Your Eggs?
Used to love to make all kinds of outrageous omelettes. Now I just like to scramble 2-3 eggs, to the point where they are fluffy and still moist. Put some black pepper and a spoon of mayo on top. Eat. Yummmmm! || Used to love to make all kinds of outrageous omelettes. || || Now I just like to scramble 2-3 eggs, to the point where they are || fluffy and still moist.

My current egg kick is similar to yours: scrambled to fluffy and moist with black pepper, but I top with a pat of butter while they are still hot.

Together they contain 2 eggs plus one yolk, 1/8 cup sweetener, pinch of salt, 2 cups rich milk (milk plus cream), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Baked slowly in a water bath. Cool before eating. YUM! They'd go well at breakfast, I think, although I prefer something more substantial. I've made them with unsweetened cocoanut added and also with a couple of ounces of dark chocolate melted into the milk/cream mixture. Both varients "layer" a bit but taste just fine.

I have a caramel flan recipe that I love and had forgotten all about it. If I make/modify it to low-carb, I'll be sure to post my recipe. I just made a cheesecake recipe I found at foodnetwork.com (from Low Carb and Lovin' It). It takes forever to cool, so I haven't actually tried it yet, but it smells great (I'll be sure to post my tasting results). ;) On a somewhat unrelated topic, I'm pretty happy with myself since I had gone to a party last night... almost entirely junk food related: pizza, crackers, sweets, cake, all kinds of fruits. All I had was some of the pork and a single chip with some guacamole that everyone was raving about. It was good... and spicy. Gotta love that spicy food. ;) Oh, and I broke down and had a light beer. Still strong in ketosis (as indicated by my strips) and still losing. Thanks!

I find this extremely filling. far more so then the same amount of nut butter by it's self.

However, I leave mine unseasoned (I gave up salt years ago and do not like hot or "peppery" spices). Instead, I mix in lots of chopped-up veggies -- mushrooms (both button and baby bellas), green bell peppers, scallions, etc. Sometimes I will also add some shredded low-fat cheese or some chopped-up tomatoes.

Five days > and no added salt to my food. I can tell you, I sure taste the salt > when it's in the food already! Just curious - why? I have to admit that I like my food salty.

I want to try and taste the food more, and I fear salt makes me retain too much fluid. I've noticed that food, when unsalted, has more subtle flavor, salt just kind of strips the flavor away. And this is from someone who loves salt, way too much. It really is addictive stuff, like sugar, and has its place definitely in the cooking process, but I want to do without it for awhile now. > >>MMMMMMMMMM!

I give up caffeine periodically for much the same reason. It's just that there's so much kneejerk fear of salt, that sometimes I wonder if people are giving up something they don't need to.

I add flax seed meal and wait 5 minutes- it thickens up the pancakes , actually huge pancakes. But we are talking eggs. and some readers may not be ready to add pancakes yet. I knew I should have explained a little more. I'm doing something new this week. I'm working a weird schedule at work- starting at 5AM, which is messing up my breakfast routine, since I must eat someinthg before work to function (postal work, lots of walking and lifting). I'm starved too early in the day, and I do like to take a break with my gal friends- so I'm splitting breakfast up. high protein before work (eggs and bacon) and low carb muffin or yogurt on my break. So the pancakes and eggs are for days home. The bacon and eggs are very satisfying and give me that usable energy to fly past the doughnuts and brownies at work- the little bit of sugar free maple syrup on the breakfast meat really is good. Most maple flavored meats contain sugar and added carbs. > why not make atkins pancakes with their mix? theres also a few recipes on > the web for alternative [cheaper] protein type powders to make low carb [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] >>> >>> Martha I make a sort of 'pancake', 'custard', fritatta thing....not sure how to classify it.

REally? > why not make atkins pancakes with their mix? theres also a few recipes on > the web for alternative [cheaper] protein type powders to make low carb > pancakes :) I make Atkins mix pancakes once in a great while. Easier, you can make pancakes by beating a couple eggs with some protein powder and any sweetener or flavoring you want. Ground flax meal is good in these, as is bran. Thawed frozen or fresh blueberries or sliced fresh strawberries are a nice addition. Proportions aren't that important. Fry in butter, top with lc pancake syrup. Yum.

Lately I've been enjoying poached eggs with salsa. :-) Priscilla Signature"It is very, very dangerous to treat any human, lowest of the low even, with contempt and arrogant whatever. The Lord takes this kind of treatment very, very personal." - QBaal in newsgroup alt.religion.christian.episcopal > Lately I've been enjoying poached eggs with salsa. :-) Oh, I love eggs with salsa. I've never quite gotten comfortable with making poached eggs, but I have soft boiled eggs all the time. I usually have two, and I drop them into a small dish atop either (1) a scoop of large curd cottage cheese, topping with lots of freshly ground black pepper or some salsa, or (2) a slice of low-carb bread, toasted and buttered and cut up into little cubes. HG > > Lately I've been enjoying poached eggs with salsa. :-) > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > salsa, or (2) a slice of low-carb bread, toasted and buttered and cut up > into little cubes. I got a funky little egg poacher gizmo (from maybe Miles Kimball?) I put in a small frypan (the one I usually use for my omelets) with some boiling water. Unfortunately the cup-like parts the eggs go in are so small even a large egg overflows a bit, so I generally do three eggs instead of two. I wish I could find medium eggs at the supermarket -- I think they'd be the perfect size -- but the smallest they carry is large. Priscilla Signature"And what's this crap about Sodomites?

They are still good, but now I like the scrambled eggs, just to stir things up a bit. :) I like them poached in a little beef broth with some dried onion bits in it.

Put some black pepper and a spoon of mayo on top. >Eat. Yummmmm! I usually do them one of two ways. Scramble 2-3 eggs, 1 tbsp of whipping cream, 1oz of montery jack cheese Fry two eggs without breaking the yolks - sprinkle pepper on them while they are in the pan. Cover the pan so they get cooked on top (I'd do them over-easy but I'm prone to breaking the yolks when I flip). Take them out and break the yolks so they run all over the egg white and eat. ----- 285.5/260.5/120 monthly-goal: 5 IN CAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok enough of that.. eggs on their own? /shudder.. gross yuk heh.. :) Signature_____________________________ This be Tia's SIG!!!

Cool. I thought I was the only one. Seriously though, as gross as they are, they are such a cheap source of protein, I just can't resist. My favorite way to eat them is to scramble them to the point of almost being burnt and then empty out the spice rack on them. I also don't mind them if they are hard-boiled and covered in ranch, cuz face it, ranch could make dog poop taste good. I can handle omelets too, if they have enough stuff in them and they aren't in the least bit slimey. I can get them that way if I cook them myself. When out to eat, it's a crapshoot.

After the flip, if the yolks break, it doesn't hurt because I only leave them in the skillet for a few seconds before dumping them on the plate. A perfect over-easy with lots of sop. I flavor with a little pepper and salsa. It is so good that I have a hard time leaving a little sop for my dog, Mis Emily, to lick. To get the tops cooked without turning them over, put a little water in the pan and put a lid on. In news:cjcv01pkmr7u7hrms679nr4lhcks8t3sri@4ax.com, PJx <me@privacy.net> stated | Exactly.
