- 1 teaspoon Savory Spice Blend
- 3 – 4 teaspoons coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or ghee

Additional Ingredients

Crab Cakes
Directions
- Combine the crab, eggs, shallots, coconut milk, mayonnaise, and Savory Spice Blend in a small mixing bowl. As you form the cakes, if the mixture is too runny squeeze out some of the liquid. Pat the cakes in a shallow bowl of coconut flour to coat well. Make the cakes any size you prefer. Smaller cakes will be easier to flip.
- In a large pan over medium heat, melt enough coconut oil to create a layer about ¼-inch deep. Gently place the cakes in pan and make sure the cakes don’t touch each other. Allow the patties to brown on one side before flipping, and cook/brown the other side.
- Serve warm or cold.
TIP: Make this recipe with either salmon or tuna.
Hollandaise
Directions
- In the container of a blender, combine the egg yolks, mustard, lemon juice, cayenne and hot pepper sauce. Cover, and blend for about 5-10 seconds.
- Place the grass fed butter in a glass measuring cup. Heat butter in the microwave for about 1 minute, or until completely melt and hot. Set the blender on high speed, and pour the butter into the egg yolk mixture in a thin stream. It should thicken almost immediately. Keep the sauce warm until serving by placing the blender container in a pan of hot tap water.
*Take Sliced Tomato and place over top of Crab Cake. Then add Poached Eggs on top. Finally drizzle Hollandaise to taste. May be served with Avocado.
