Mini Egg Pizza Recipe… and it’s Paleo!

Ingredients:

  • 1 Tbsp lard or olive oil
  • 1 small red onion, diced
  • 1 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 C tomatoes, diced (or one 14 oz. can, strained)
  • 1 C pepperoni, diced
  • 10 eggs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • ¼ tsp black pepper 1 C black olives, chopped (optional) 1 C mushrooms, chopped (optional)

Cooking Directions:

Heat lard or olive oil over medium heat
Saute onions until almost softened, about 5 minutes
Add tomato paste, cook and stir for one minute until well incorporated with onions
Add tomatoes, cook 2 minutes stirring frequently
Add pepperoni, cook together for 4 minutes, stirring frequently
♥ Crack and beat eggs until fluffy and bubbly
♥ Add oregano, basil, salt and pepper to eggs and mix
♥ Grease muffin tin cups (eggs will stick) or use a silicon pan or liners
♥ Spoon 1 Tbsp of tomato mixture plus any other additions into each muffin cup
♥ Pour egg mixture into muffin cups until they are ¾ full (eggs do fluff up in oven)
Bake at 325 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until tops become golden brown. We prefer our slightly underdone if we’re saving them for the week so that when reheated the eggs do not become overcooked.

*Makes 16-24 pizzas, depending on how much you fill the cups with toppings. We filled our muffin cups about 50% with toppings and 50% with eggs and had 20 egg cups.

Strength: Press & Push Press

Ten rounds, each for time of:
100 meter Sprint
Rest 90 seconds

* Record slowest and fastest times.

* Bring a watch with a stopwatch setting if you have one.

Athlete of the Week: Mason

Mason has been with us from the very beginning, when ED*CF was nothing more than a dark sweatbox. Since then, Mason has made incredible improvements in form, work capacity, strength, flexibility and even diet when him and Jen H. completed a 30 day paleo challenge on their own! I mean just look at this shredded beast. Keep up the good work Mason and we are glad to have you as a part of the ED*CF family.
