A delightful, simple one pan strawberry breakfast slice which is low in carbs and high in protein.
Ingredients
  • 250g strawberries
  • 1 tbsp + 1 tsp sweetener (optional)
  • 1 tbsp + 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 6 large eggs
  • 50g ground almonds (or ground flaxseed / linseed / seed mix )
  • 10g butter or coconut oil
  • 100g firm ricotta, crumbled
  • 25g flaked almonds or chopped almonds (I recommend dry roasting them for extra crunch and flavour)
  • 1 tsp fresh mint leaves, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
  1. Remove the tops and thinly slice 150g of the strawberries. Put aside.
  2. Cut the remaining 100g strawberries into halves.
  3. Combine the halved strawberries with 1 tbsp powdered sweetener + 1 tsp water in a bowl and stir to cover.
  4. Place the eggs, ground almonds, vanilla and 1 tsp sweetener into a separate bowl and whisk well until combined.
  5. Preheat your grill to the high setting.
  6. Melt the butter in the bottom of a non-stick, ovenproof frying pan over a medium heat.
  7. Add the egg mixture and move it around for 30 seconds until the mixture starts to stick. Top with the sliced strawberries, ricotta and half the chopped almonds. Leave for 4-5 minutes until the underside is cooked. N.B. you will be able to lift the sides up slightly.
  8. Now place under the grill for approximately 5 minutes until the ricotta is lightly browned and the mixture has set. Keep an eye on it as you do not want it to overcook and the egg to burn.
  9. Carefully remove from the oven, top with the remaining halved strawberries and flaked or chopped almonds and serve.
  10. A few mint leaves make for a beautiful garnish and table centrepiece.
  11. Slice and serve.
  12. This will keep in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
