Gluten-Free Southwestern Keto Egg Muffin
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp ghee or butter or other healthy fat
- 2 tsp coconut flour (sifted recommended)
- 1 egg (for muffin)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder (aluminum and corn-free)
- dash of Redmond Real Salt or Himalayan Salt
Egg components
- small amount of healthy fat
- 1 egg (for egg part)
- Primal Kitchen chipotle lime mayo
Tomato mixture
- small handful of colorful cherry tomatoes
- chopped beet greens (optional)
- BalancedBites Taco and Fajita blend (to taste)
- 1 tbsp prepared salsa (spicy preferred)
Preparation
Whisk together keto muffin ingredients in a small bowl
For microwave, pour into a microwave-safe mug and cook for 90 seconds; for oven, bake in an oven-safe mug at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes
Slice the muffin in half and toast or lightly broil in the oven
Heat a pan on medium low and add a small amount of healthy fat
Grease the inside rim of a stainless steel biscuit cutter that matches the size of the keto muffin
Place the biscuit cutter on the heated pan and wait about 30 seconds for it to heat up
Crack an egg into a measuring cup or small container with a spout and pour it into the biscuit cutter, securing it to prevent seepage
Cook the egg until desired doneness, aiming for about half runny yolk if preferred
While cooking the egg, slice a small handful of colorful cherry tomatoes and optionally add chopped beet greens
Add the tomatoes and greens to the same pan, sprinkle with BalancedBites Taco and Fajita blend, and add 1 tablespoon of prepared salsa
Sauté the tomatoes while the egg is cooking
After the egg is done, remove it from the pan and loosen it from the biscuit cutter using a knife
Assemble by placing the egg on the toasted muffin half with a generous slathering of Primal Kitchen chipotle lime mayo, then spoon the cooked tomatoes on top
