I made up this recipe last week and we have it all the time now! We even had it the other night as an after dinner snack (aka dessert). Induction Friendly!
3 eggs (1.8 carbs)
3 oz cream cheese (philly cream cheese----3 carbs)
10 oz package of spinach (5 carbs)
.5 cup parm cheese (4 carbs)
1 tbsp heavy cream (.5 carb)
2 Italian sausage links (I use hot sausage)
couple ounces parm cheese for the top! (depends how much you use for carb count I usually do an even layer so it probably adds another 2 carbs to the count)
14.4 divided by 8 = 1.8 carbs
(edit: I also add garlic powder to the mix---if you do also make sure to add in those carbs too--the powder we have is really strong so a little bit goes a long way)
(serves 8--- roughly 2 carbs each--I haven't done the math perfectly you can check for yourself--but I'm about 90% sure it's around there... sorry)
First take the sauges and squeeze the meat out of the casings and cook in frying pan. I take a fork and knife and separate the meat into pieces like ground beef. (you can use any meat if your concerned about sodium, etc however the sausage adds a nice interesting zing to it, so I highly recommend adding it.)
ok so next you heat up the cream cheese in the microwave to soften it up (30 secs) and mix with eggs, heavy cream and parm cheese. I use a hand held mixer so that the cream cheese blends completely with the rest of it.
Next I microwave the spinach and then add both spinach and sausage to the wet mix. You can either spread into a large baking pan or use a muffin tin to get carb counts exact. My sister has a muffin tin that's in the shape of little rectangular loaves, they came out perfect in this tin. Publix sells the tin for 10$.
Top off mixture with parm cheese evenly over the top. Bake for 25 mins at 360-370 degrees (depending on your oven, mine cooks about 15-20 degrees cooler then it should so I cook it at 375 degrees.)
Last night I cooked this for my sister at her apartment and her stove top was broken so I had to microwave the sausage for approximately 1-2 mins instead of frying it up and it came out perfect regardless so this can be a very QUICK side dish if you shy away from more time consuming recipes.
Enjoy, let me know if you make this recipe! I'd love to hear feedback on it!
