Cooking cue

Cook eggs just until set so they stay tender instead of rubbery.

  1. Set a large skillet or saute pan over medium to medium-high heat and keep the ingredients close so the cooking stays fast and even.
  2. 1. Beat the egg in a bowl with an electric mixer for 1 minute, then add ricotta, parmesan, and salt and whisk until smooth.
  3. 2. Sprinkle coconut flour, xanthan gum, and psyllium husk powder over the mixture, whisk to combine, then stir with a spatula until the dough comes together and refrigerate for 1 hour (or freeze for 15 minutes).
  4. 3. Divide the chilled dough into quarters, oil your hands, and roll each portion into a thin rope, then cut into 1 to 1.5 inch pieces.
  5. 4. Shape each piece using a gnocchi board (press gently with your thumb while rolling) or a fork (roll into a ball and press with fork tines).
  6. 5. Arrange shaped gnocchi on a parchment-lined baking tray and freeze for 20 minutes until firm but not completely frozen.
  7. 6. Melt butter in a pan over medium heat, add gnocchi and minced garlic, and fry for 1.5 minutes on the first side.
  8. Cook eggs just until set so they stay tender instead of rubbery.
  9. 7. Carefully flip each piece, add sage leaves, and cook another 1.5 minutes until golden on both sides, then serve with cracked black pepper.
  10. Taste and adjust the seasoning at the end, then serve while everything is hot or freshly chilled.
