Eggs Mornay – Quick & Healthy Style

by Leave a Comment

eggsEggs Mornay is a wonderful cheesy dish usually made with a rich sauce.   Weekend mornings it might be a great splurge, but most days we need something quicker and healthier.  Here’s a better version that is scrumptious, not boring or bland.  Add a few asparagus spears during the broil and you have a fantastic meal in minutes.

 

Ingredients:

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon dried basil
  • 2 medium ripe tomatoes, peeled, chopped
  • 2 slices of Swiss cheese (totaling 2 ounces cheese)

Directions:

  1. Crush garlic and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
  2. Preheat broiler.  Bring water to boil for eggs.
  3. Cook the garlic and basil in the oil for a minute or two.
  4. Add the tomatoes and cook just until heated through.
  5. In the meantime, soft boil the eggs by cooking them in boiling water for 6 minutes.
  6. Run eggs under cold water and peel carefully.
  7. Wrap each egg in a slice of cheese.
  8. Divide the tomatoes into two shallow baking dishes.
  9. Arrange an egg in the center of each dish.
  10. Broil about 2-4 minutes, until the cheese is melted and slightly brown.

Serves 2

Kellie's philosophy is that there is no one-size fits all diet. Because of bio-individuality (each one of us is different), most diets will work for some people and not for others. We need to eat nutrient dense, whole foods that have been properly prepared - real food, as close to the form it was originally grown/raised in, prepared in a way that preserves or even enhances the nutritional value of the food.

 

She believes that it is important to investigate how the body is using the food as well as understanding what is happening in the bigger context of an individuals life.  She knows that we are obviously more than what we eat and that can have a very big impact on how the body deals with food. Kellie helps her clients identify and move toward their personal ultimate health goals.
