Kids' Egg Cut Outs

About

Here is a great Low Carb kid-friendly recipe helpful for Keto parents looking to edge their children to a more Low Carb diet. A simple egg omelet is made and then cut into fun shapes using cookie cutters. Feel free to use a small paring knife to make your designs! Kids will love choosing cookie cutters to help cut out shapes. Healthy fats from the egg and sauteing oil will help to keep them full and satisfied until lunchtime.

What to pair with egg cutouts?

Kids should not be on an extremely low-carb diet (unless they are on a special diet for health reasons), so pair the egg with fresh fruit like strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries. Even consider higher carb, but still lower glycemic fruits like plums, apricots, apples, and more.

What kinds of cookie cutters to use?

Feel free to use any sized cookie cutter you would like to. For smaller amounts of egg (like in this recipe), use cookie cutters about 1”-2” in size. To make larger cut-outs, use more eggs and a larger frying pan to ensure a larger omelette for cutting shapes.

Can I use other oils to saute?

Yes! Feel free to use olive oil, lard, tallow, or coconut oil instead of avocado oil.

Ingredients

2 teaspoon avocado oil
1 large raw egg

Instructions

Preheat a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Whisk one egg in a small bowl. Add the avocado oil to the pan and swirl to coat. Add in the egg and allow it to spread into a thin layer. Allow it to cook for 30 seconds or so until you can flip the egg. Flip the egg and cook on the other side for a few seconds.
Transfer to a cutting board and cut fun shapes out of the egg.
Be careful to place the cookie-cutter as close to the fried egg’s edge as possible to make the best use of the space. Serve immediately!
