A few weeks ago we had a thread about what to cook when you are high and can’t eat carbs. Recently, my son experimented with a new recipe that achieves this goal and has been quite savory—at least for him.
The original idea comes from one we used to make before he was diagnosed, egg in a hole:
(we don’t use bacon grease but EV olive oil).
His adaptation is:
-
cut a thick slice of roast chicken, from the breast area
-
make a hole in it, big enough for an egg yolk
-
fry the roast chicken slice in olive oil for a couple of minutes
-
sprinkle grated parmesan cheese into the hole and cook it until it becomes hard
-
break an egg in the hole
-
add salt, black pepper, cayenne
-
cover the pan with a lid
-
let the combination cook until the white of the egg is hardened but the yoke is still fully runny
-
slide the final product into a plate and eat.
If you are really hungry, make two! It works great if you are too high to eat carbs.
If you are able to add 3 low GI carbs, add two ounces of steamed broccoli on the side, sprinkled with salt and olive oil. We find that broccoli has a very limited effect on our BG.
