Grain Free Breakfast Shepherd Pies - Primal, paleo and low carb

Grain free breakfast Shepherd pies are a low carb, primal, egg and bacon mini pie that are topped with a coconut flour, veggie crust. The kids and hubby did not notice the hidden veggies either. I know, I’m being sneaky again. Hoping that, eventually, they will eat veggies without the covertness.

These mini pies are very simple to throw together, and would make an impressive brunch entrée when entertaining. Also great to make in advance, keep in the fridge, and reheat in the morning. Perfect if your ramekins have lids, but could be covered with foil or plastic wrap too.

I made them on the weekend, and reheated during the week for a fast, nourishing, low carb, breakfast. I topped mine with a little cheese, tomato, avocado, and hot sauce. My picky child had his plain, with no toppings, of course.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 F, and grease or oil 4 ramekins.
  • In a larger mixing bowl combine: 4 eggs, 2 tbsp milk of choice, sea salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  • Pour equal amounts of egg mixture into bottom of ramekins. Bake the egg filled ramekins in the oven for 10 minutes or until eggs are somewhat firm. Remove ramekins from oven and let cool.
  • Layer two slices of bacon on top of each egg in the ramekin. Set aside.
  • Process cauliflower in food processor until rice like texture forms. Can also use a ricer or grater.

    In the ingredients list for the filling you say 5 eggs, but in the method instructions for the filling you say 4 eggs. Which is it, please?

      Dolfyn,
      It is 4 eggs, number 5 was a misprint. Unless you have smaller eggs, then 5 would work.
      Thanks for letting me know.

    question: can the cauliflower and coconut flour mixture be premade as a “dough” and saved in the fridge for future use and if so for how long?

      Jennifer, I have actually had some dough left over before and I did cover and refrigerate it for a day or two. But I would not recommend more than two days, as the raw eggs could spoil and the cauliflower gets stinky. Be sure to cover it so the fridge doesn’t get smelly.But after a day or two in the fridge it was fine.
      Sincerely,
      stacey
