Samantha's Favorite Breakfast

We've done a lot of bacon and eggs combos.  Tristan tends to like to grab bits of any ingredient in the kitchen and throw them into breakfast in one skillet, but I am a flavor purist.  I want to savor the taste, individually, of each food.  

Ingredients:

30 g  or 2.5 slices thick cut bacon

50 g white mushrooms

105 g or 2 eggs

10 g heavy whipping cream (40%)

23 g bacon fat

9 g european butter

20 g heavy whipping cream

decaf coffee

Fry up the bacon to your liking and reserve the bacon fat.  If you are not using american bacon, you will not have the copious amount of bacon fat left in the skillet.  To achieve similar results, increase the butter to the necessary amount of fat and fry the bacon in some of this butter.

Cook sliced mushrooms in bacon fat/butter.  Salt to taste.

Scramble eggs with 10 g whipping cream.  Cook in remaining fat that has not been soaked up by the mushrooms.  Make sure you allow the fat to cool a bit so that you do not fry the eggs immediately.

Use remaining 20 g of cream in a creamy decaf coffee.

I was never much a fan of scrambled eggs, but whipped with cream and lots of butter and bacon fat, these are delicious!

Scrambled Sausage and Eggs

Believe it or not, but you can actually get sick of bacon.  The ketogenic diet can do that to you.  When that happens, this breakfast is such a yummy respite.

Ingredients:

Scramble:

55 g breakfast sausage

15 g green onion

20 g european butter

100 g eggs (2)

10 g heavy whipping cream (40%)

Creamy Coffee:

50 g heavy whipping cream (40%)

1-2 mugs of decaf coffee

Brown the breakfast sausage in a pan over medium heat with chopped green onion, breaking into smaller pieces.  The values used here are for Owens brand of breakfast sausage, but when we're on the road we look for any brand which shows "0" for carbs, and some of these have even more fat or less protein.

Whip together the eggs and cream and add to the pan with the butter turning heat to medium low.

Cook until eggs are done to your liking.  If you use salted butter, then it doesn't even need seasoning!

For creamy coffee, simply add the cream to the amount of decaf coffee you prefer.  Tristan didn't like coffees before, but now that they're full of cream, he quite enjoys them.

fat:  65.8 g, protein:  25.1 g, carb:  3 g

ratio:  2.3:1

Because a lot of the fat in this meal comes from the cream in the coffee, it means your breakfast isn't so greasy, which is also really nice.
