Keto Salami & Egg Cups#SundayFunday

An easy keto one net carbs per serving for breakfast or brunch, can be meal prepped in minutes! Keto egg cups are a perfect egg muffin replacement. Salami and eggs - such a great combination, and these tasty cups are so much fun to make and eat! What I like about these egg cups that you can have fun with the toppings.
Just add whatever you like to spice up these muffins. They are so fun to make and then enjoy!! They're delicious, filling, festive and pretty.
Ingredients
Olive Oil spray
Salami slices
10 Eggs
Salt & Black pepper to taste
Optional Garnish
Chorizo slices
Sliced Black Olives
Fresh Basil
Pinch red pepper flakes
Pinch dried parsley
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C. 
Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a muffin pan with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet.
Place one salami slice on the bottom of each ramekin, then arrange more slices around the sides, overlapping. 
This will be the salami "cup" that holds the eggs. Add a little shredded cheese at the bottom. Break an egg into each "cup." 
Season the cups with salt, pepper. 
Sprinkle a little cheese on top, garnish with olives, basil leaves.
Bake until the whites are set, about 20 minutes. Gently run a knife around the edges of each cup. Slide a spoon underneath each egg to release it. 
Serve immediately.
My Notes 
This is one of those recipes where it's best to make only as many as you think you'll be able to eat right away. However, if you end up with leftovers, you can keep them in the fridge in a sealed container for up to two days. Reheat them in the microwave or enjoy them cold. I don't recommend freezing the leftovers.

Homemade Roasted Tomato Sauce - Keto#AlphabetChallenge

A delicious and fingerlicking sauce, easy homemade sauce, that is keto, no added sugar, preservatives or peeling of tomatoes. no thickening agents, so flavorful with herbs and spices, then blended into a sauce, freezes beautifully. When tomatoes are cheap then it's perfect time to make a batch of roasted tomato sauce. Use this to make pasta, pizza for even to make a gravy.
Makes 5 Cups
Ingredients
1½ Kgs Fresh Tomatoes
1 Whole Head Garlic - peeled
2 Medium Onions roughly chopped
1 Small Carrot - chopped - optional
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 Tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
2 Tablespoons Wine - optional
2 Teaspoons Dried Oregano Leaves
2 Teaspoons Dried Basil Leaves
2 Teaspoons Dried Parsley
2 Teaspoons Dried Thyme
2 Teaspoons Dried Rosemary
½ Teaspoon Black Pepper Powder
½ Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes optional
1 Teaspoon Pink Himalayan Salt
½ Teaspoon Keto Sweetener - I used Stevia powder
Method
Preheat oven to 200°C With both the elements on.
Cut tomatoes in pieces. Place in a large roasting pan. Scatter garlic , onion, carrot over-top. Drizzle with olive oil, wine & balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with all the herbs, salt, peppers. Toss with a large spoon to coat.
Place in preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, stirring well half way through cooking. The mixture shouldn’t dry out completely and some of the tomato skins will char slightly. Stirring well half way through ensures that nothing gets too dark. Allow to cool.
Blend in a food processor or use immersion blender to create a sauce with your desired chunkiness level. I made a smooth sauce, strained it into a strainer. If you find the sauces tangy then add ½ teaspoon sweetener of your choice, I added stevia powder. 
Here is a delicious, fingerlicking and silky smooth sauce. You will love this sauce. It has a natural roasted color, do try it, worth the effort and time taken to make this!!
Freeze this in a zip lock bag on a baking tray. When required just break pieces you require and your ready to go!!

Keto Peach Iced Tea#SundayFunday

Peach iced tea is a perfect and ultimate summer time drink specialty, and it's so easy to make! I am using fresh peach to make this , but can use canned peach nectar, a few bags of black tea, an easy method to make a small batch of iced tea. It's a perfect early morning or late afternoon treat. Peaches are rich in vitamins A and C, fiber, and carry antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Serves 2
Ingredients
For The Peach Nectar

2 Ripe Peaches
1 Cup Water
For The Tea
2 Cups Boiling Water
4 Black Tea Bags
4 Teaspoons Sugar -optional- I did not use
Method
Remove pits from peaches and chop.
Place in a saucepan with water and simmer ten minutes or until soft.
Mash pulp and strain contents of saucepan, discarding solids.
To Make The Tea
Into each glass, add two tea bags and pour a cup of the boiling water into each . Steep uncovered for 3-4 minutes.
Remove tea bags, stir in peach nectar and sugar (if using) into each, then fill the rest of the glass with the chilled water. Cover on the lid and refrigerate at least 4 hours before enjoying or if you want to have it immediately then Serve the tea over ice.
Taste the freshness of peach in every glass of Peach Ice Tea. Packed with the goodness of Vitamin C to boost your mood & energize you throughout the day. 
My Notes
Four regular-sized (single-serving) bags of black tea; two per cup. Since iced tea is, well, iced, it can be watered down, so we use two tea bags per serving instead of one.
I don't drink sweetened drinks so I did not add any sugar to my iced tea. 
Today for Sunday Funday we are sharing recipes made with "Peach".

Keto Chinese Steamed Buns#BreadBakers

If you are on Keto and longing for Chinese steamed buns ,then these are for you which are not only gluten free, but pillow-soft, delicious and will go well with any Asian food. You can also make a sandwich with whatever filling you want. 
These also freeze very well. If you want them sweet, then you can increase the sweetener in the batter. I enjoyed them as a savory sandwich and also make these to enjoy with gravy instead of rice. These do not have an egg taste or flavor. To cut that flavor, have added a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. Do try these they are soo..oo.. good!
Ingredients
½ Cup Almond Flour
⅛ Teaspoon Stevia powder
1 Teaspoon Baking powder
⅛ Teaspoon Salt
4 Large Eggs
1 Tablespoon Mayonnaise
1 Teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
Method
Mix all dry ingredients together and mix well then add the eggs and mayonnaise mix till combined.
Place a 2 tablespoons of batter in each silicone mold and steam it for 10 minutes on high flame or on a water bath in the oven 180°C for 13 minutes. 
Cool  & unmold.
Slice and  make sandwiches with the filling of your choice 
or dunk them in any gravy.
My Notes
I used an aluminum cupcake tin and they didn't stick at all. I used steel plates to make large ones, but batter did stick to the bottom. Make them in silicon mold or place a greased parchment paper before adding the batter to the steel plates.
