Low Carb Italian Eggs In Purgatory

Low Carb Italian Eggs In Purgatory-

A grain free, paleo and low carb breakfast dish.

Low Carb Italian Eggs in Purgatory are a fun, all in one skillet, and tasty way to jazz up breakfast. Eggs that are steamed in an Italian meat and veggie sauce.

These are grain free, paleo, low carb and keto. Made in one big skillet. I used a cast iron skillet,  and I actually used two small cast iron skillets, because I could not find the big one.

I’m thinking we took it on a camping trip and it did not come home. It is, however, much easier to use one bigger skillet for this dish.
