Making low carb simple

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Spread the bacon strips on the baking sheet and set aside.

  2. Place the eggs in a saucepan and fill with cold water, at least 1" (2.5 cm) higher than the eggs. Cover, and bring to a light boil over high heat. Once boiling, remove the pan from the burner and let the eggs rest in the covered pan for 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, place the eggs in a bowl of ice-cold water for 5-10 minutes, or place in a colander and run under cold water until completely cooled. Peel, and set aside.

  3. Place the baking sheet on the middle oven rack and cook the bacon for 10-20 minutes (time varies depending upon the thickness), or until crispy. Drain the bacon on paper towels and when cool, cut into triangles, to form the sails.

  4. Slice the eggs lengthwise and scoop out the yolks. Place the yolks, avocado, and olive oil in a small bowl. Mash together with a fork until combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

  5. To assemble, generously spoon or pipe the avocado yolk mixture into the egg whites, and set the bacon sails in the center of the mixture. Enjoy!

    5-7 days a week my breakfast is two eggs any way I want them, with clarified organic butter.
    O-2 days per week I add bacon or homemade pork sausage patties.
    Simple, satisfying, and easily gets me to my lunch bento box comprised of...
    Top tier: protein of the week, sauteed vegetables
    Bottom tier: carrots (or celery), 1 radish, cheese, assorted olives
    .
    I've been doing the above for two years and I've never felt better and I've never been stronger at the gym in my life.

    If I make this as an appetizer for a group, will the olive oil keep the avocado in the mixture from turning brown?

    Place 1 table spoon Salt in water, bring to boil, take of heat and let stand for 8-10 minutes & place in cold water bath for a few minutes. Peel your egg, turn your egg lengthwise and cut down the middle, easy peasy ! 😊
