No-carb or low-carb Eggs in a Chicken Hole when you are high

Low Carb

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

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.
