Healthy Breakfast Recipes: Egg-White Crepes


4.46 / 5 Stars
by Freckles
"Berries provide the filling for these simple crepes using whole wheat flour, egg whites, and skim milk."

Original recipe makes 4 crepes

1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 egg whites
1/2 cup skim milk
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup mixed frozen berries, thawed and drained
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar for dusting


Directions

Whisk together the wheat flour, egg whites, milk, salt, and oil in a large bowl until smooth.
Lightly coat a skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet. Tilt the pan in a circular motion to allow the batter to spread to the edges. Cook until the bottom is light brown, about 2 minutes. Flip the crepe and place 2 tablespoons of the mixed berries in the center of the crepe; cook another 2 minutes. Fold the crepe in half and remove with a spatula to a serving plate. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve.

High Protein Almond Pancakes With Strawberries Recipe

High Protein Almond Pancakes With Strawberries Recipe




Almond Pancakes With Strawberries
Almond Pancakes With Strawberries





Ingredients
6 Egg Whites from either Eggwhites international or Muscleegg (he even has strawberry flavored eggwhites)
¼ cup steel cut McCann’s Oats (Quaker Oats are Genetically Modified!) Since I used steel cut instead of rolled oats I let them soak in a small amount hot water for about five minutes to “swell” before I added them to the recipe.
2 scoops Vanilla Whey Protein
1 cup or 1 canister of Greek Yogurt
2 Packets Vanilla Stevia
1 Tsp. Vanilla
1 Tsp. Organic Almond Extract (I may add just a bit more…I love all things almond)
7 Strawberries (cut in small pieces.) Please use organic….strawberries are heavily sprayed with pesticides!! 

Directions:
Combine all of the ingredients (except for the Strawberries) in a blender and blend until everything is well combined (about 30 seconds). You want to have a nice smooth “pancake batter-like” consistency. It may not be as thick as you are accustomed to with regular pancakes.  It may even have the appearance of a Crepe batter. (If the consistency is too thin for you simply add more oats.  I don’t want the additional carbs.)
Gently stir in the strawberries. If you prefer to mix it by hand a whisk will also work well.
 Pre- heat a non-stick pan or griddle over a medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray. I used coconut oil cooking spray. You can test the pan by dripping a drop of water into the pan and see if it dances & sizzles. If so, your pan is ready!
 Pour the desired amount of batter into the pre heated pan.
This should yield about 7 medium pancakes.

Ingredients

  • 2 large whole eggs and 4 eggs whites
  • 1/4 of an onion, finely chopped
  • 1 whole red chili (or chili to taste), finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 50g cottage cheese
  • Pinch of mixed herbs
  • 2 slices of whole brown bread

Cooking Instructions

Grab a small non-stick frying pan and spray a small amount of olive oil cooking spray to coat the pan. In a small mixing bowl add 2 whole eggs and 4 egg whites. Whisk until the egg yolks and whites mix. Add 1/4 of onion, 1 clove of garlic and 1 whole red chili – all finely chopped. Now add 50g of cottage cheese and a pinch of mixed herbs. Whisk this mix fully.
With the frying pan at moderate heat, add the contents of the mixing bowl. Put your toast in the toaster now. Gently stir the contents to scramble the eggs. Once eggs are scrambled add them to toast on a large plate.

Serving Suggestions

I like to have the eggs scrambled on toast because its easy and only takes a few minutes. You could also use the mix to make an omelets. Serving on a bed of spinach leaves adds color, flavor and vitamins.

Butterflied Grilled Chicken with a Chile-Lime Rub Recipe

Butterflied Grilled Chicken with a Chile-Lime Rub

Butterflied Grilled Chicken with a Chile-Lime Rub







6 servings
Total Time: 1 hour 25 minutes (plus 12-24 hours marinating time)

Ingredients

3 tablespoons chili powder, preferably New Mexico chili, or Hungarian paprika
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons freshly grated lime zest
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican
1 1/2 teaspoons salt substitute
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Pinch of ground cinnamon
1 3 1/2- to 4-pound chicken

Preparation

Combine chili powder (or paprika) and oil in a small bowl with lime zest and juice, garlic, coriander, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper and cinnamon to form a wet paste.
Using kitchen shears, cut the chicken down one side of the backbone, through the ribs. Make an identical cut on the opposite side to remove the backbone completely; discard (or reserve it for stock). Place the chicken cut-side down and flatten with the heel of your hand. Generously smear the spice rub under and over the skin and on the interior of the bird. Place in a nonreactive baking dish (see Tip). Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or up to 24 hours.
Preheat half the grill to medium-high (or build a medium-high heat fire on one side of a charcoal grill); leave the other half unheated. Have a squirt bottle of water ready by the grill.
Leave all the spice rub on the chicken. Place the chicken skin-side down over the heat and grill until the skin begins to color and char marks form, about 5 minutes. (Extinguish any flare-ups with the squirt bottle.) Flip over and grill 5 minutes more. Move the chicken to the unheated side. Close the lid and cook, making sure the chicken is flat against the grate, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh without touching bone registers 165°F, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a platter and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before carving.

Preparation

Toss apple slices with lemon juice and cinnamon in a small bowl. Heat 1 teaspoon oil and 1 teaspoon butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the apples and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Keep warm.
Mix 1 teaspoon herbs de Provence, salt and pepper. Place chicken between sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or the bottom of a small saucepan to a 1/2-inch thickness. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with the seasoning mixture.
Heat 1 teaspoon oil and 1 teaspoon butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add half the chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a platter and keep warm. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and 1 teaspoon butter to the pan; heat over high heat. Cook the remaining chicken in the same manner.

Cook five minutes on each side or until the second side is cooked and slightly browned. Divide the cottage cheese mix and put on chicken breasts. (It will look like too much- but it's not!) Broil for an additional five minutes or until cottage cheese is melted and slightly browned. Serve with drippings poured on top.

***Blackened Cajun seasoning can be made by combining to taste about a teaspoon of each - garlic powder - onion powder –cayenne pepper - chili powder – cumin and
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

PORK or CHICKEN VERDE

PORK or CHICKEN VERDE


 Ingredients:

-Pork Butt(shoulder) without the blade in or pork loin, whatever is on sale. Pork butt can often be found for $1.79 in my area so I usually go with that. Now you will have to determine how much pork you need for how many meals you want to get out of it and how many people will be eating. Remember the meat will shrink after the fats are reduced. If you do chicken I like to use a mixture of breast and skinless thighs.
-14oz of green Verde sauce... again this will be broken down so whatever is cheapest.
-1/4 to 1/2 white onion, rough chopped.
-1 red bell pepper(optional)
-1 green bell pepper(optional)
-salt and pepper to taste.

Take your slow cooker and set it on high.
Line the bottom of the cooker with the chopped onion and sliced peppers.
Set your pork butt/loin, or chicken on top of the vegetables with the fat side facing up.
Pour your jar of verde over the meat.
Lightly salt(please use a good salt not table salt) and pepper.

Quicker method:
Put the lid on and walk away!!! Check after 4 hours... if it starts to shred without much effort it is done. If not let it go for another 2 hours then turn the temp to "keep warm."

Slower method(for people who are away from home a lot):
Or if you cant keep an eye on it.... after adding everything, use the "low" setting and let it go for 8 hours or more.

Serve over rice/tortillas/or whatever you like. Chop cilantro, onion, lime and or whatever you like when serving!

Also, if you want crispier "carnitias style" burnt ends on the pork, take the meat and do a quick dry pan fry the crispier ends.

I have fed 6 people with this recipe with enough left over for another FULL meal using a 4.5lb shoulder for around $15!!!! Minus sides
