What You'll Need
Ingredients
-
5 pieces
eggs
-
2 pieces
egg whites, beaten until stiff peaks form
-
1 cup
apples, heaping cup, diced
-
2 pieces
bananas, peeled and sliced
-
1/4 cup
desiccated coconut
-
2 pieces
fried bacon, crumbled
-
1 tablespoon
coconut flour
-
1 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
-
1 pinch
ground nutmeg
-
coconut oil
-
orange zest
-
lemon zest
Directions
- Cook the back rashers or bacon and set aside. When they are cool enough to handle, dice with a pair of scissors or crumble, if using bacon.
- In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, and set aside.
- In a large, beat the eggs and set aside. (I beat mine with the electric mixer to make them fluffier, but by hand is fine too).
- In an 8-inch frying pan over low heat, add a few teaspoons of coconut oil.
- Add the apple pieces, the cinnamon and nutmeg, and sauté about 1-2 minutes. Remove from pan.
- In the same pan, add a bit more coconut oil, and sauté the banana slices, just until they are starting to become golden and caramelise, about 2 minutes. Remove from pan.
- Add the prepared apples, prepared bananas, back rasher bits, desiccated coconut, and coconut flour to the whole egg mixture. With a few swirls of the spatula, blend well.
- Fold in the egg whites and mix until well blended.
- In the same frying pan as before, add about 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, and heat over low heat.
- Add the tortilla/frittata mixture and spread out across the pan, by swirling the pan or spreading with a spatula.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Then with the help of a flat plate or flat cover, cover the pan and flip the tortilla over and slide (uncooked side down) back into the frying pan.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on this side. Flip again, if necessary to ensure it’s fully cooked.
- Slide onto a serving plate and garnish with some lemon and orange zest, if desired. Serve warm or cold.
