SERIOUS SNACK:

1. Preheat the oven to
   200 ̊C.


2. Line the rim of each
   cavity in a muffin tin
   with a strip of bacon.
   Depending on the size
   of the muffin tin, you
   might have to use two
   strips of bacon per
   cavity.


3. Break an egg into
   each cavity, add the
   freshly milled salt

and pepper, and

place the muffin tin

in the oven for 10

minutes. When the

eggs are half cooked,

remove the tin from

the oven, scatter the

mozzarella evenly

over each egg,

sprinkle a pinch of

dried origanum on

top and return the

muffin tin to the

“This is one of the coolest, easiest dishes I’ve discovered through Banting/LCHF/ keto. It
makes a wonderful fast breakfast, a snack, or something for your lunchbox.”

The high brine

content in the

bacon could

create moisture

in the muffin tin,

so if you have

the time and the

will, you could

fry it first in a

frying pan. Or use

any type of ham

instead.

1. Melt the chocolate
   in a glass bowl placed
   over a pot of boiling
   water.


2. Add the butter,
   erythritol, cream
   cheese and milk, and
   stir until everything
   has combined.
   Remove the
   chocolate from the
   heat. Stir in the orange
   essence and zest.


3. Whip the cream
   until stiff, but not too
   stiff. A good way to
   judge is to beat it until

light peaks start to

form.

4. Add the chocolate
   mixture to the
   whipped cream
   and mix it well, until
   the chocolate is
   thoroughly combined.
   Here, you mustn’t
   “fold” or stir – just mix
   everything together
   properly.


5. Place the mousse
   in bowls, and chill in
   the fridge for at least
   30 minutes before
   serving.
