Keto zucchini au gratin


INGREDIENTS
3 medium Zucchini (sliced in 1/4" thick slices)
Sea salt
Black pepper
3 oz Brie cheese (edges cut off)
1/3 cup Heavy cream
2 tbsp Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
1 tbsp Butter
2 cloves Garlic (minced or crushed)
1 cup Swiss, Gruyere, Cheddar, shredded cheese blend (or any shredded sharp cheese)
1/2 tbsp Italian seasoning

INSTRUCTIONS

Toss the zucchini slices with sea salt. Place into a colander and set over the sink to drain for 45 minutes. Pat dry at the end.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

In a small 1.5 quart casserole dish, arrange the zucchini slices in several overlapping rows. Season lightly with black pepper. (They already have salt at this point.)

Combine the brie, cream, milk, butter, and garlic in a small saucepan. Heat for a few minutes on the stove over low to medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the cheese melts and the mixture is smooth. Pour the mixture evenly over the zucchini.

Sprinkle the shredded cheese blend on top. Top with Italian seasoning.

Bake for about 25-30 minutes, until the cheese on top is golden brown.

Vanilla-Almond Creme Brulee

Easier Than You Think Creme Brulee Recipes I have worked on several recipes and Del was nice enough to taste with me. ;-) She finally told me the other night that "I had perfected this", so now I feel like I can share! Extreme creamy custard on the bottom, and a hard, crunchy top layer of "burnt" sugar. "Creme Brulee" literally translates to "burnt creme".  The only "must" for this recipe is the custard cups- make sure you use heat proof cups designed for baking souffles or brulees and this recipe will be a snap!!

Teriyaki steak salad (my keto replacement for my old lettuce wraps)

Before starting keto, one of our favorite meals were Asian lettuce wraps. We would marinate steak in sugary teriyaki sauce and flash fry in a wok. Once the meat cooled, we would spoon rice into a lettuce cup, sp rinkle with  soy sauce and chili oil and pile with steak. Finally, we would add a few slices of cucumber to cool the heat from the chili oil. It was so satisfyingly delicious! I have been craving those lettuce wraps recently, so I decided to try my hand at recreating the marinade, making it Keto of course!  I decided to make it into a salad in order to add more vegetables to bulk it up since we aren't using rice. The final meal tasted better than our old lettuce wraps; I will definitely be using this teriyaki sauce more often!
