VEGETARIAN BURGERS

AVOCADO AND EGG QUORN "BURGERS" are one of the most delicious burgers ideas ever!

 I used wholegrain & sunflower seeds buns. Fried the two quorn "schnitzel's" in a bit of olive oil before topping them with mashed avocado and a fried egg (I just love the mashed avocado and egg combo). I had cucumber and cherry tomatoes on the side. This honestly takes a few seconds to make. This used to me my favorite meal two years ago and i made it EVERY Sunday. I used to serve it with a tomato, avocado, sweetcorn, cashew nuts and cottage cheese salad. I will be doing that next time. 

BROCCOLI OMELETTE

Here comes an omelette idea! 

I love omelettes. They are so fast to prepare and delicious to eat. An omelette can be eater for breakfast, lunch and dinner !

 Big flax seed omelette stuffed with (eggs mixed with flax seeds and a few tbsp nut flour) : coconut oil fried broccoli, brie cheese, basil leaves and pumpkin seed.

MINI PALEO PIZZAS

MINI ALMOND FLOUR PIZZAS

with mashed avocado and fried egg on top !

I love cheese on my pizzas. But for these mini pizzas I decided to challenge myself and try something different. So i opted for my two other favorite ingredients:

AVOCADO 

EGGS 

For 3-4 mini pizzas: 

100g almond flour, 1 egg, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1 tbsp physillium husk and a pinch of salt. 

1. Mix everything in a bowl. 

2. Let it rest 15 minutes

3. Make 3-4 balls. 

4. Flatten each ball with wet hands on a baking tray covered with baking paper. 

5. Bake for 10 minutes at 175 ° C (untill a bit golden)

6. Top with your favourite pizza toppings. I topped this one with mashed avocado (with a bit of lemon, basil leaves and sea salt ) and a fried egg.

If you use cheese, or vegetables that need to be cooked, re-bake for 5 more minutes until the cheese melts or eat with out rebaking if you are using mozzarella and want a "salad pizza".

Omelette salad

Whats the best thing when you crave something fresh, warm and filling is being able to combine all these characteristics in one and only dish. 

And today I solved it with this OMELETTE SALAD. An omelette stuffed with all my favorite salad ingredients and of course : A LOT OF CHEESE.

2. Whisk the ingredients for the omelette in a bowl, using a fork and pour on the pan.
3. Cut all the ingredients for the salad into smaller pieces.
4. When its almost ready (still a little "watery" in the middle) add the sliced mozzarella cheese.
5. When the cheese starts melting add the "salad ingredients" on half of the omelette and fold.
6. Serve immediately 
7. Divore!

Savoury vegetarian pie

Last weekend I had a family reunion and we all had to make something. I decided to contribute making two savory pies. One with a more "adult" taste and the other one a little more "children" friendly. I decided to stick to ingredients that most people like and not to make things too complicated and too advanced.

So this was the result :

Eggs: facts and recipes

I am just crazy when it comes to eggs. I liked them boiled, fried, poached, oven baked, frittatas, omelettes. And yes, i eat the yolk too. I am not a white-egg-only person. Eggs are considered to be one of the earths healthiest food as it contains almost every essential vitamin and mineral that our  body needs to function.

One of the biggest nutritional myths is that eating eggs raises your cholesterol levels. The dietary cholesterol in eggs has very little to do with the amount of cholesterol circulating in the blood stream. Cholesterol is an essential fat and the amount of cholesterol is very strictly regulated, and if there is too little cholesterol that is assumed by the diet the body produces it itself.  

Here come some of my favorite egg recipes of the moment : 

Stuffed flax seed omelette.

Flax seed omelette stuffed with grilled yellow bell-pepper, brie cheese, sun dried tomatoes and basil.

3. Add the egg batter.
4. Fry for a few minutes at low-medium heat.
5. Add your favorite fillings: in the first picture I used : grilled yellow bell-pepper, brie cheese, sun dried tomatoes and basil. In the second picture I used 1 tomato, 1 mozzarella and 20g baby spinach.
6. Close the omelette and ENJOY!
