HAPPY SLIM RECIPE - STAR CREPE WITH HAM & EGG SUNNY-SIDE UP from Jorge Cruise

ON MY THIRD DAY OF SLIM DOWN LOOSING SOME POUNDS
I AM EATING HAM & EGG CREPE STARS

IT WAS A VERY APPETIZING BREAKFAST. YOU CAN MAKE OUT OF THE EGG CREPE A SQUARE OR LIKE I DID STARS....THIS WORKS ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR EGG CREPE BREAKS....DO NOT PANIC....JUST HAVE FUN WITH IT BY USING NICE AND FUNNY COOKIE CUTTER.

HERE IS THE RECIPE FROM jORGE CRUISE WHO IS THE AUTHOR FROM THE BOOK "HAPPY HORMONES SLIM BELLY"...IT IS A GREAT BOOK BECAUSE HE HAS SECTION HIS RECIPES BY SLIM DAYS, 2 DAYS AND 5 DAYS HAPPY RECIPES ETC.



Delicious to the TASTE


This is what you need:

2 Tsp. flour (any kind will do)

3 Tbsp half and half or use almond milk unsweetened

1/2 Tsp. butter

2 eggs

Avocado oil

1 Tbsp parsley, chopped or cilantro

1 slice of cooked ham

Salt and Pepper

pan & bowl


Here it goes:

add in your bowl 2 Tbsp. of flour and half egg which you beaten separately in another bowl.

Then pour your almond milk slowly in your egg- flour and mix it until smooth. Use salt & pepper to give it a flavor and pour your melted butter into the batter. 

warm up your pan on medium heat with avocado oil ( 1 - 2 Tbsp.) and pour in your egg crepe batter in.

Once the edges turn into a golden brown color you are able to flip it. Should it happen that the egg crepe breaks  just get your cookie cutter and decorate your plate with funny and nice shapes.

Only the cooked ham (sliced in dice or leave it the way it is) into the pan and the end your egg sunny side up.

Voila.....Ready to have Breakfast!
