Heston's Scrambled Eggs

 

Heston's Scrambled Eggs

3 large eggs
80g butter, divided
15g milk
15g cream
salt and pepper

Place eggs, 20g butter, milk, cream, and salt in a heat resistant bowl.  Stir gently but don't whisk. Boil water in a saucepan. When the water has started boiling, place the bowl on top of the pan (make sure the water doesn't touch the base of the bowl). With a spatula, gently stir the mixture until it starts to curdle. Take it off the heat and plate.

Brown Butter
Heat remaining 60g butter in a pan over low heat. Swirl the butter around until it melts and then starts to brown and smell nutty. Take it off the heat and strain through a coffee strainer. Spoon over the eggs.

Eggshells

 

Eggshells consist of 95% calcium carbonate which make them very similar to our bones and teeth. This also means that we can consume them to strengthen the same!

By crushing them into powder you can add them to broth or stocks and some folks put them in their homemade toothpaste for the pearly whites!

Did you know that if you put them in ACV, you can make a tincture that relieves acid reflux and irritated and itchy skin?

Other uses for eggshells are:

• compost them!

• put them back in your chicken feed for healthier hens

• use them in the garden to deter certain pests like snails or slugs

• If you have enough add them to your mulch

Bone Broth Latte *****

 I was surprised how much I enjoyed this!  I've seen recipes that call for much more butter, and I doubt my stomach could handle that!  I may try it with 1 Tbsp butter instead of 1 tsp.

1 cup Bone Broth

1 tsp Grass-fed Butter [try using 1 Tbsp butter?]

Real Salt to taste

FAT:

Blending in a bit of fat can make an incredibly rich bone broth—both in flavor and texture. Think of it as the broth version of Bulletproof coffee. Add a teaspoon of grass-fed butter or ghee, coconut oil, or coconut butter. Blitz the fat and about a third of a serving of the warm broth in a Vitamix and pour it over the rest of the broth for a latte-like experience.

ACID:

Some form of acid will balance that fat and round out the intense umami flavors from long-cooked bones. Some bone broth recipes call for apple cider vinegar to help extract minerals from the bones while cooking, but by the time you’re ready to sip, that bright tang will have cooked off. Finishing your broth with apple cider vinegar and fresh citrus juice and zest (lime, regular lemon, Meyer lemon, even orange) adds a wonderful zip that wakes everything up.

Fresh Egg White Wraps *****

Good flavor.  Stuck to the ceramic griddle, so I make them on the electric griddle.

  

Egg White Crêpes

Ingredients

• A little less than 1 cup egg whites (whites of 6 lge eggs)
• 2 Tbsp beef gelatin powder 
• Real Salt to taste
• Lard or Tallow for cooking
• 
  

Instructions

1. Heat griddle to 375 degrees and brush lightly with the cooking fat of your choice. Whisk together egg whites and gelatin until combined and then use an immersion blender to get the batter smooth and frothy. 

2. 
   

3. Pour 1/3 of the batter onto preheated griddle and spread gently with the back of a mixing spoon until the wrap is 5-6 inches across. Be careful not to leave any thin spots. Allow the wraps to cook for 2 minutes or until the edges start to curl up and the bottom becomes lightly brown. Flip and cook for 2 more minutes. Repeat with the rest of the batter.

Homemade Electrolytes

 

A Science-Backed Quantity of Electrolytes

In the many years we spent mixing electrolyte drinks at home before LMNT existed, we made many messes and had quite a few misses, but we also came up with several great recipes. If you prefer to source your own electrolytes instead buying LMNT, jot this down and grab a scale:

• ½ teaspoon salt provides about 1 gram sodium
• 400 mg potassium chloride provides about 200 mg potassium
• ¼ teaspoon of magnesium malate provides about 60 mg magnesium

These are the same science-backed electrolyte amounts and ratios in each grab-and-go stick pack of LMNT. It’s the equivalent of our simplest product: LMNT Raw Unflavored. You can use this as a base to create your own recipes, or simply follow the guides below to recreate 4 of our most popular flavors.

#1: LMNT Citrus Salt

INGREDIENTS (serves 1):

• 16–32 oz water
• ½ teaspoon salt provides about 1 gram sodium
• 400 mg potassium chloride provides about 200 mg potassium
• ¼ teaspoon of magnesium malate provides about 60 mg magnesium
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• Dash of stevia, to taste

DIRECTIONS: Stir or shake to mix well, and serve over ice.

Carnivore Cream Cheese Crepes

 

• 8 large Eggs, room temp
• 8 oz Cream Cheese, room temp
• 1 1/2 Tbsp Butter 

Crack all the eggs into a blender and add the cream cheese. Blend until the mixture is smooth.

Heat a pan over medium heat and add 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter.

Pour half a cup of batter into the pan, ensuring it spreads evenly and is not too thick.

Bubbles will start forming on the surface of the crepe. When you notice them, flip the crepe and cook until it is golden brown.

Repeat with the remaining batter. Enjoy these delicious carnivore cream cheese crepes!

Notes: 

Getting the right pan temperature is important for perfect crepes. Start with medium heat, but be prepared to adjust. The pan is ready when a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly on the surface.  If the water just sits there, the pan is too cool. If it immediately vaporizes with a loud hiss, it’s too hot. Your first crepe can be a test – if it browns too quickly or unevenly, adjust the heat.

London Broil in the Instant Pot *****

 

• Remove London Broil from the fridge.  Cut it in half so it fits inside the Instant Pot.  Season generously with Real Salt and let it sit at room temperature for one hour.
• Turn on the Instant Pot on the saute setting and melt the butter and/or tallow. Brown both sides of each of the London broil pieces, one at a time. Remove each piece when it is browned and place it on a plate.
• Pour beef bone broth into the Instant Pot.  Place a trivet or a silicon sling inside, and place the beef pieces on top of the trivet, in a single layer if possible.
• Cook on Manual for 30 to 40 minutes. Release the steam.
• Remove the meat from the Instant Pot and place it on a serving platter. Allow to rest 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
• Turn on the saute setting. Bring the juices that are left in the inner pot to a boil, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

10 drops monk fruit

Himalayan pink or Real Salt

Pan-Seared Filet Mignon *****

 

• 4 10-ounce thick tenderloin beef filets, roughly 1.5- 2 inches thick
• 
  
• ▢Himalayan pink salt  to taste
• 
  
• ▢1 Tbsp beef tallow

• Preheat oven to 415°F. Remove the steak from the fridge, season all sides liberally with salt, and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes prior to cooking.  
• Heat a cast iron pan over medium-high heat.  When hot, add beef tallow. Once the oil starts to smoke, turn heat to medium, and place the filets in the pan.  Let sear, undisturbed, for 2 minutes. Flip the filets and sear for an additional 2 minutes. Quickly sear the sides.
• Optionally, add some herb butter (recipe below) and a whole garlic clove to the pan before transferring it to the oven. The butter will melt and the garlic will season the pan drippings. Carefully transfer the hot skillet directly to the preheated oven or air fryer oven. 
• Bake for 5-6 minutes for medium rare.  (For rare, bake for 4 minutes.) 
• When done, optionally spoon some of the seasoned pan drippings over the steak to infuse it with extra flavor.
• Carefully remove filets from the skillet and set them on a plate to rest before serving. 
• Top with an optional slice of garlic and herb butter and serve.

Herb Butter:

• 1/2 stick butter, softened
• ▢1 Tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
• ▢1 Tbsp chopped fresh tarragon
• ▢1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
• 
  

Use a fork to mash the herbs and garlic into the butter until fully mixed. Store in the refrigerator and remove 10 minutes before adding to the filet.
