low carb holiday breakfast?

I'm looking for suggestions for a special low-carb Christmas
breakfast. I could do bacon and eggs, but it doesn't seem that
special, considering the time of year. There's going to be so many
carb laden temptations during the day, I'd really like to start things
off right. What are you guys having?

Adding hollendaise made the bacon and eggs special today.

For those who count out the twelve days in the ancient tradition -
Glad Yule day 3!

This has become a tradition at my house for Christmas breakfast:, it is
delicious!





Breakfast Casserole



6 eggs

1/3 cup heavy cream or half & half
1 teaspoon wet mustard

1 pound pork sausage ( I use a spicy turkey sausage)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt



Cook sausage and drain. Beat eggs, add cream, salt and mustard. Mix in
sausage and cheese. Pour into 9 x 9 greased baking dish. Top with additional
cheese if desired. Refrigerate overnight covered (optional). 350 degrees for
approx. 45 minutes.

One serving of bacon (3 slices) and 2 eggs. The same thing I have most
days. We had our Christmas party yesterday, and I never even touched a
cookie or any of that stuff. Sent all of it off with my kids and
grandkids when they left, so I think I'm good to go for the rest of
the holidays, and won't be tempted. :-)

I'd do one of two of my favorite splurge breakfasts.

First is a cream cheese and chive omelet. Cook 1 TB chives in 1 TB
butter over medium heat; pour in mixture of 3 eggs and 1 oz heavy cream;
place 2 oz cream cheese in center before folding.

Second is a sausage and cheese quiche. Fry 1/2 lb breakfast sausage to
form crumbles then place in bottom of pie pan; in bowl, beat together 3
large eggs, 1 cup heavy cream, 2 oz shredded cheddar, 1/8 tsp
freshly-ground black pepper and a dash of lite salt; pour egg mixture
over sausage; top with 1 oz shredded cheddar and 1/4 tsp paprika; bake
at 350 F for 40 minutes.

Try this pancake recipe:

1/4 cup wheat gluten flour

1/4 cup milled flax seed

1 level teaspoon salt

6 pink packets saccharin sweetener

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon (one good shake) each cinnamon and nutmeg

1 egg

about 1/4 cup water

1 tablespoon oil or melted butter optional, since flax seed has high
oil content

Combine dry ingredients, then stir in egg and (optional) oil; add
water until you get batter consistency, although this batter will
normally be thick. Use cooking spray and a few drops of oil on
skillet. Pour four pancakes, about three inches diameter, onto heated
skillet. Cook at high temperature until dark on bottom side, then flip
and continue cooking another half minute.

Serve with sugar-free syrup, sugar-free preserves.
