  • The Low-Carb Solution to Egg in a Hole Recipe

    The Low-Carb Solution to Egg in a Hole Recipe

    Jump To Recipe
    Print Recipe

    Can’t decide whether to make a grilled kabab or an egg in a hole? Make both!
    Two of my favorite food groups—eggs and toast—unite in this take on the playful dish also known as egg in a hole, Egg in a Basket or Egg in a Boat or, more simply, egg in toast. I fancy it up by filling the bread center with mince crust and topping with basil or chili flakes. And It came out so delicious!

    Egg in-a-hole – Look at that perfect texture !!

    For this recipe, I used a normal mince kabab mixture for filling the bread , to keep it low carb. The outside was crunchy and crispy and inside was so juicy and tasted so good with the egg in the middle. A nice way to add some more protein to a sandwich, while also providing something of a sauce from the egg yolk (depending on how you cook your egg). It’s adds just a little oomph of flavor to the sandwich.

    Watch carefully as you cook the mince crust, and don’t raise the heat higher than medium: The goal is for the mince crust to brown and the egg to set simultaneously. Save the crust center for making breadcrumbs.

    Also how well the eggs must be cooked is a personal choice. Some like over easy, sunnyside up or completely cooked through. No matter how you make it, this will remain a favorite breakfast option passed on for many generations to come. When you make this cute breakfast-for-dinner recipe, you can vary it by using cheese, vegetables or sauteed Spinach in place of the mince filling.

    This Low-Carb Solution to Egg in a Hole Recipe can be an excellent addition to a healthy weight loss diet. They’re not only low-carb and low in calories but also high in protein and fiber that keep you feeling full.

    I’m really excited to share this recipe with you.
    So, Bismillah let’s get started and Check it out Low Carb Egg in a Hole Recipe and printable version here!!

    Low Carb Egg In a Hole Recipe

    Whether you call it Egg in a Hole, Egg in a Basket or Egg in a Boat, this easy healthy breakfast is sure to delight. Serve with a side of fruit for a wholesome, satisfying start to the day.

    • 1 slice Multigrain bread ((You can use your favorite kind of bread))
    • 1/4 cup Mince Kabab (You can get recipe from here )
    • 1 teaspoon olive oil
    • 1 whole egg
    • few red pepper flakes
    • a pinch of dried basil (optional)
    • a pinch of salt
    • Optional: shredded cheese (I like cheddar)
    1. Take a thick slice of bread (I like the multigrain bread because of its texture and flavor, but you can use whole wheat or white bread).
    2. Cut the middle of the bread from the slice leaving a ½-inch (1 cm) border of crust.
    3. Stuff the bread slice hole with some Mince Kabab filling.
    4. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat.
    5. Put your bread over it and cook on the mince side.
    6. Cover and let it cook until it is light golden, a couple minutes.
    7. Flip your bread slice.
    8. Now with a spatula or spoon make a hole inside of the bread.
    9. Then carefully crack your egg into the hole on top of the mince topping to make sure the egg does not spill over.
    10. Season with salt and red pepper and a sprinkle of basil.
    11. Cover the pan and Cook until the egg is pretty set on the bottom, another minute or so.
    12. Cook until the other side of the egg white is set but the middle is still runny.
    13. You can add some cheese.

    14. Transfer to a plate.

    15. Your Delicious Egg-in-a Hole is ready to eat.

    16. Enjoy!

  • Bean Salad with Olives and Herbs Recipe

    Bean Salad with Olives and Herbs Recipe

    This salad came to my mind right as I was falling asleep.

    Does your brain ever do crazy stuff like that? My best ideas seem to come when I’m about to doze off and don’t have a notebook or pen to write things down, so I just make a pact with my brain to remember. And the next day we both do our best to recall what we were thinking.

    Thankfully, this one made it through the pipeline! Three cheers for my old lady brain still working!

    Bean Salad with Olives and Herbs

    Bean Salad with Olives and Herbs

    I’ve made many a Bean salad before, but this one is special. This is the answer to the question, “What’s super cozy, flavorful and perfect for any BBQ Party?” It’s a great addition to any summer get together!

    This Pakistani/Italian flavor pairing came to mind, and the recipe is adapted from my all-time favorite Bean Salad.   One super easy thing you can prep ahead is beans. I love beans because you can make them so many different ways and they’re packed with protein, slow-digesting carbohydrates and fiber. Their nutritional profile makes them ideal for prepping before a workout and recovering after a workout. If you’re trying to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight, they’re great for that too since they make you feel full longer.

    One of my favorite ways to enjoy beans during the warmer months is with my Bean Salad. It’s super easy to make and it tastes really yummy too! This recipe is simple, requiring just 10 minutes to prepare! You can eat it all on its own (what I normally do) or dress it up by adding some more chopped veggies to it. It’s also great added to some greens either in a wrap or in a salad. 

    Bean Salad with Olives and Herbs

    Bean Salad with Olives and Herbs

    The dressing is SO easy (and dreamy).

    Italian herbs are blended with vinegar . Add olive oil water to thin and ‘voila!’ You have a super yummy, tangy Italian dressing ready to coat those gorgeous bean salad. Look at that salad goodness.

    Bean Salad with Olives and Herbs

    I hope you all LOVE this Bean salad! It’s:

    • Hearty
    • Flavorful
    • Vegetable-packed
    • Fiber- & Protein-rich
    • Tangy + Crunchy
    • Super healthy & Delicious

    This would make the perfect side dish for BBQ Party, or any get together, really. It yields four entrée-sized portions or 8 sides, so multiply as needed. Although it’s delicious on its own, it would pair extremely well with my Grilled Lamb Chops, and my Grilled Italian Chicken.

    Bismillah, let’s get started the recipe!!

    Broccoli Spaghetti Soup (Clean Eating Version)
    Broccoli Spaghetti Soup (Clean Eating Version)

    In the last week, I seriously made four different types of soups. This Broccoli Spaghetti Soup was my favorite of the four, and surprisingly, the healthiest as well!

    The recipe starts with crisp stalks of organic broccoli. I am making the organic distinction here, because the main flavor of this soup comes from the broccoli, so it’s got to be top notch.  That means organic and preferably local.First tossed broccoli with olive oil until tender, caramelized and aromatic.  Then stir in born broth and cooked spaghetti. It’s chunky, brothy savory, and just the right balance of pasta and green veggie. I love the aroma of parsley and chunky broccoli in this soup.

    It is pretty simple and fast to put together and differs completely from another pan fried fish I have posted earlier. This Tangy Pan Fried Fish relies on warm flavor of ginger, sharp garlic and the grassy heat of green chillies along with a tang from vinegar and chaat masala. I pan fry the fish in virgin olive oil, you need to try fish cooked in it to know how awesome it tastes but canola or other oil will work fine too.

    9. Mix until well combined. The liquid in the marinade and from the fish should be enough to moisten the rice flour.
    10. Pan fry the fish on medium low heat in a single layer, flipping midway to brown on both sides. It took me about 4 minutes per sides.
    11. Remove from the pan and transfer into a serving platter. Tangy Pan Fried Fish is ready to serve.

    Serving Suggestions:
    Serve immediately with lime wedges and steamed vegetables, brown rice pilaf or lentils.

  • Garbanzo Beans Chaat Recipe

    Garbanzo Beans Chaat ( Clean Eating Version)

    Garbanzo Beans or Chickpeas are a nutrient-rich food, providing high amounts of protein, fiber, iron, potassium, manganese, copper, zinc, phosphorus, magnesium, vitamin B-6 and thiamine, making them a healthy addition to any diet.

    They may also help you lose weight, especially if you eat them instead of higher-fat sources of protein like beef, or chicken. They are high in dietary fibre which means it’s harder for the body to digest them, in turn making their glyceminc index low.

    Garbanzo Beans Chaat (Black chickpeas) is one of Pakistani’s favorite food made with chickpeas and other spices. Everyone will like it and ask for more when you serve.

  • Recipe: Salmon Fish Fry (Clean Eating Version)

     Salmon Fish Fry (Clean Eating Version)

    Ah, a good fish fry.  Who doesn’t love that?  That crunch of flaming-hot fish fillets straight from the fryer.

    I love fried fish. While it make my tummy rumble in ecstasy, my blood vessels are shuttering with fear of all that cholesterol. 😛

    We usually have the batter made out of white flour, or maybe cornflour (hello, sky-high insulin), and then deep-fried in some vat of polyunsaturated fat that has been used over and over, creating a huge batch of trans-fat laden ooze that your fish is swimming in before it reaches your plate, all to wreck havoc on your health. Okay, so maybe now you don’t love fried fish so much? Sorry to ruin it for ya! But here’s my healthy, and lip-smacking alternative!!
