Boiled Eggs with Zucchini Bread
Ingredients – BREAD
- 2 cups almond meal
- 1 cup arrowroot
- 1/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives – roughly chopped
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 6 eggs
- Handful pepitas (save some for topping)
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups grated zucchini
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
Method
- Preheat the oven to 160 degrees and line a bread loaf tin with baking paper.
- In one bowl combine all the dry ingredients – almond meal, baking powder, pepitas, and a pinch of salt/pepper.
- In a separate bowl combine the wet ingredients – lightly whisk the eggs, add the olive, ACV and add the zucchini.
- Combine both bowls until you achieve a dough.
- Pop the dough into the lined loaf tin and sprinkle the remaining pepitas on top and throw it in the oven.
- Bake for 60 mins, or until golden on top and cooked through (test by inserting a knife – if it comes out clean you are good to go!). Remove from the loaf tin and sit it on a cooling rack.
- Cut off a slice and melt some butter.
- For the eggs – pop the eggs into a small saucepan and cover with water (just enough to cover the eggs).
- Put the lid on and bring to the boil on the highest heat. Once boiling remove from the heat and set aside for 6 mins. After 6 minutes lift the lid and remove the eggs. (Add another 2 minutes for hard boiled eggs). Enjoy.
