Quick, easy, delicious, and oh-so satisfying! And it's even better the next day.
Ingredients
▢ 1 cup Cooked Ham (diced - I use Beeler's ham steak)
▢ 1 cup Heavy Cream (or Coconut Cream for dairy-free)
▢ 1 cup Cheddar Cheese, cubed (skip if dairy-free; add "clean" bacon bits instead to retain that umami/salty flavor, if desired, ex. homemade, or Epic brand)
▢ 8 Eggs from pastured hens
▢ 1 cup chopped, cooked broccoli (skip if pure Carnivore)
▢ Redmond Real Salt, to taste (be generous! it's good for you! I used ~1/2 tsp for this recipe)
▢ Black Pepper, to taste (if tolerated)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch pie pan.
- Put the diced ham and cheddar cheese into the pie pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and salt well (on low with hand mixer is ideal for fluffy finished texture).
- Add cream and seasonings and whisk again to combine.
- Pour the egg and cream mixture over the meat (and cheese/broccoli, if using) in the pie pan.
- Bake uncovered for ~45 minutes or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
- Let it cool and set for 10-15 minutes before serving.
- Optional: Add a generous sprinkling of shredded cheese on top at the end, if desired (if you're doing cheese).
- Enjoy! 😋
