My Paleo Diet

This breakfast was very similar to a recipe in Paleo Comfort Foods (see link on the right under Books), p 220.  I varied it a bit, though.  First, my ham slices were too narrow to hold the egg, so I criss-crossed two slices (after spraying some coconut oil in the muffin pan).  I then put in some hot sauce, some El Rancho extra hot salsa (made in Oklahoma – pictured above), and two jalapeño slices.  Bring on the heat!

I added the egg and then cooked at 350 until the egg whites didn’t wiggle when I shook the muffin pan.  Something like 15-20 minutes.  The yolks came out moist but firm, not runny as I would have preferred.  So I’ll have to work with this one a bit to get it right.  But even so, these were delicious!  I even added some more salsa on top, plus some Tabasco.  Nice and toasty!
