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:
> **[Egg in a Hole Recipe](https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/187850/egg-in-a-hole/)**
>
> Using bacon drippings in the skillet brings added flavor to this breakfast classic.
(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.

Brilliant! The Parmesan is a nice touch.
As for the broccoli, YES! I often roast it for lunch, till it’s crispy and blackened along the edges, and eat it just on its own. Barely a rise in BG.
