Spinach Gratin

Pre-heat oven to 190 deg C

Ingredients

Half a bag of frozen, chopped spinach (I use Waitrose)
200g grated Gruyere (or strong cheese)
100ml Double Cream
50ml Almond Milk
25g Butter
150g Almond Flour

Microwave the spinach until it is defrosted; squeeze with your (clean!) hands or put through a sieve to drain the water.

In a pan, melt the butter, add the cream, milk, and almond flour and stir carefully, adding most of the cheese gently and stirring thoroughly.  Then add the spinach and stir thoroughly until all is combined.

Place the mixture into an ovenproof dish, scatter with a few pine nuts and top with some more grated cheese.  Bake in oven till sizzling (approximately 15-20 minutes)

Serve with your favourite main course!  Goes equally well with fish, chicken, meat or a veggie dish of your choosing!

Ketogenic Bacon & Cheese Muffins

Method

Pre-heat oven to 190 def C

Ingredients

125g Ground almonds
25g Ground Macadamia Nuts (I’ve since found Macadamia Nut Paste, use one tablespoon)
1 tablespoon, Ground Flaxseed
1 tbsp, Psyillium Husk
1 tsp Xanthan Gum
50g Grated Gruyere or Strong Cheddar
1 tsp Baking Powder
2 slices Bacon
100 ml Almond Milk (I use Unsweetened, unroasted, nil Carb)

Method

mix all ingredients together in a large bowl (I use an electro whisk).

On a greased baking tray, place medium sized dollops of the mixture (8-10) and round off nicely (or you can use large muffin cases, but I prefer to save on waste). Bake in oven for approximately 20 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
