Mini Key Lime Pies

Servings:
8

Filling Ingredients:
10 Key Limes (1/4 cup of juice)
2 Omega 3 Enriched Eggs
1 Tbl. Honey
1/2 cup Coconut Milk (I use Thai Kitchen Lite Coconut Milk)

Filling Directions:
Juice Key Limes. (Each Key Lime won't produce that much juice but all of them should give you 1/4 cup of juice. Also strain out the seeds.)
Whisk Juice, Eggs, Honey, and Coconut Milk well in a bowl.

Crust Ingredients:
3/4 cup Almond Flour
1 Tbl. Walnut Oil
1 Omega 3 Enriched Egg
2 tsp. Truvia (This is a sweetener made from stevia leaves)
1/2 tsp. ground Cinnamon

Crust Directions:
Mix all ingredients in a food processor, until it has a consistency like butter.
Scoop 1 tsp. of crust into lined mini muffins tins. Then press crust down and up along sides.

Bake crust for 5 minutes at 330° F.
Then pour about 1 Tbl. of filling in crust.
Bake for 20 minutes, until the filling sets.
Allow to cool fully and refrigerate.



I really enjoy these because I can just grab one as a snack. The filling was a bit tart so add 1 tsp. of Truvia if you like it sweeter.

Brushetta

Servings:
2

'Bread' Ingredients:
1/4 cup Almond Flour
1 Omega 3 Enriched Egg
1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp. Dried Oregano
1/2 tsp. Olive Oil



'Bread' Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°.
Beat Egg in a bowl and add in all other ingredients.
Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet. Scoop 1 Tbl. of dough onto parchment paper with 2" space in between each.
Put another piece of parchment paper on top of the dough on the baking sheet. Flatten dough to about 1/8" thick between parchment paper.
Bake for 10 minutes.
Begin topping directions while 'bread' is baking.

Topping Ingredients:
1 small Plum Tomato, chopped
1/2 Red Onion, chopped
2 cloves of Garlic, minced
2 Tbl. fresh Basil, finely chopped
1/2 tsp. Balsamic Vinegar
1/2 tsp. Red Wine Vinegar
1/2 tsp. Olive Oil

Topping Directions:
Saute Garlic in Olive Oil over medium heat in a frying pan. Add Red Onion to frying pan for 1 minute to soften.
Move contents of frying pan to a bowl. Add Tomato and Basil and mix well. Pour in Balsamic and Red Wine Vinegars.

Scoop topping onto 'bread' after it has cooked. Place in the oven for 10 additional minutes.

This is a very healthy treat for parties, or just a yummy snack for you! - I ate one serving at a time, and waited to cook the topping on the 'bread' until I was going to eat it, so they didn't get soggy in the fridge ;)
