Bacon & Egg salad + Zucchini Pancakes

Breakfast

January 3, 2023

Looking for a pancake recipe that’s savory instead of sweet? Look no further! Make extra to reheat anytime or eat them cold the next day.

PREP TIME

10 minutes

COOKING TIME

20 minutes

YIELD

Approximately 8 small pancakes or 2 servings

3 eggs

1 tablespoon coconut flour

Sea salt and black pepper to taste

2 cups shredded zucchini (using a food processor with a shredding disc is ideal, or by hand)

Coconut oil or bacon grease for pan frying (amount will vary)

SIDE NOTE

A food processor makes this recipe super quick and easy.

Beat the eggs with the coconut flour, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix in the shredded zucchini until well combined.

Add about 1/8 inch of coconut oil to a large skillet over medium-low heat. Spoon the mixture into the skillet in “cakes” that are approximately 4-6 inches in diameter.

Cook until they hold together, flipping once as you would a standard pancake.

Serve warm or at room temperature.

Egg salad is an old favorite of mine, but commercial mayonnaise is out of the question when you’re avoiding refined seed oils. This take on a classic uses Baconnaise (recipe here) and gets that bacon-y taste right into the dish.

Take eggs out of the refrigerator, and allow them to come to room temperature. Fill a large pot with 8 cups of water, and bring it to a boil.

Place the eggs in the boiling water for 10 minutes. Remove the eggs, and place them in a large bowl with ice water for 10 minutes. This will keep them from turning green around the yolk.

Peel the eggs, place them in a bowl, and mash them with a potato masher or large fork. Mix in the Baconnaise, sea salt, black pepper, chopped bacon, and chopped chives.
