Quick breakfast idea: fried custard and berries
 

I was making French toast for my little girl this morning, and though I was
using low carb, whole grain bread, it was carbier than I wanted to start my
day, so I wasn't having any. It smelled so good, though, it was driving me
crazy. As her toast was cooking, I poured the last bit of egg onto the
bread, and a little bit ran off onto the griddle. I flipped it up onto the
bread so it wouldn't get too brown, and I was intrigued by how it looked
(kind of tasty).

So when I got done with her toast, I made up another batch of the egg
mixture, consisting of one egg, maybe about a quarter cup of milk, a splash
of vanilla, and two packets of Splenda. I poured the mixture onto the
griddle, hoping I could get a crepe-like thing going, but it didn't hold
together, so I more or less scrambled it. (Yes, I know if you add less milk
it will hold together in a "crepe" but to me that is just an omelet.)

When that was done (set, but still shiny), I put it in a bowl, then sliced
about 4 ounces of strawberries on top, sprinkled another packet of Splenda
on it, then mixed it all up.

It was surprisingly good! Very filling, yet with a light, refreshing taste.
The combination of the warm "custard" with the cold berries was especially
enjoyable. And the whole thing took less than 5 minutes. Made like this,
it would have about 12g carbs, but someone with a very low carb limit could
conserve by using cream instead of milk, DaVinci instead of Splenda, and
fewer berries (more custard).

Sounds good. Gotta try it!

Ditto that!

And another recipe goes into my nearly bare and skimpy breakfast arsenal...

Thanks loads,
