Ingredients

1 lb rutabaga (peeled and shredded)
8 oz. broccoli (shredded - the stalk works best here)
1/2 cup green onion (sliced)
1/2 cup almond flour
3 garlic cloves (minced)
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
3 eggs
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 1/2 tbsp ghee (1/2 tbsp per 3 egg-serving)
15 eggs (3/serving)
1 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
2 1/2 avocados (sliced)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. In a bowl, combine shredded rutabaga, shredded broccoli stalk, green onions, garlic, salt, pepper, and almond flour.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, and then combine with veggie mixture.

4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and then spread 1 tbsp olive oil over the sheet.

5. Divide mixture into equal portions (about softball sized balls). Give each portion a squeeze to eliminate extra moisture. Then flatten into patties on the sheet.

6. Cook for 20 minutes. The flip and continue to cook for an additional 10 - 15 minutes, or until they are browned and crispy around the edges.

7. Heat 1/2 tbsp ghee in a small pan over medium heat. Once hot, egg 3 eggs, add salt and pepper to taste, cover until cooked to your desired doneness (5 - 10 minutes)

8. When ready, each top latke with 3 eggs, 1/4 c cheese, and 1/2 avocado.

Serves 5

Notes

Meal Prep Option 1: You can cook the latkes and bulk, and then just reheat in half of your pan while you cook your eggs. This is what I've done.

Meal Prep Option 2: You can prep the latkes through the step of separating the mixture into balls. Store in the refrigerator in an air tight container, and cook each fresh daily.

Dairy-free: Substitute a plant-based cheese or skip the cheese.

Additional toppings: Sauerkraut works well here and adds some great probiotics. Microgreens or sprouts would also be great nutrient-dense additions.
