Yeah, that's a great LCHF pro tip: read Swedish LCHF recipe blogs with Google Translate. It works surprisingly well. It makes you read and navigate a website almost like if it was written in your native language (with some hiccups)!

I love to make stuffed mushrooms for the family for breakfast on the weekends. They go fast as hot cakes!! I stuff them with sausage, spinach, cream cheese, garlic, onions, tomato, hot sauce, etc., sometimes different bits of leftovers from the week. It's a great recipe because they are so versital. When I mention to friends that we had stuffed mushrooms for breakfast they all say "that sounds fabulous!"

Fanny, nice breakfast recipe (the tuna/leek/capers)! I substituted a can of sardines for the tuna, and that was just fine. I really hate to cook, so I hope you will develop many simple "food assembly" type dishes. Delicious simplicity -- that's what I need to stay on the LCHF way of eating. Thank you in advance for your contribution to me. :)

Hi, I'm breastfeeding, no health problems and I'm eating moderate low-carb. Is it bad that I ate almost the whole recipe from the bowl instead of dividing it into 4 servings?

Hi Fanny - I found this posted in the egg-free breakfast but it has mayonnaise. Would you be able to add or suggest an alternative dressing in the recipe for people who can't eat eggs? I'm very interested to try this recipe. Thanks!

Mayo is eggs, why is this recipe on the egg free list?

Jillyann, I just found out about Hellman's (aka Best Foods) Vegan Mayo. It's pretty tasty and is egg free. It was on the shelf at my grocery store and was not expensive like other vegan mayos I've tried (that tasted like Miracle Whip, ick!)

One leek is approximately 9 carbs. The recipe calls for half of one and is 4 servings (1.125 per serving). The capers add maybe 1/2 a carb (.125) and the creme fraiche adds 1 carb (.25)...so perhaps the net total is closer to 1.5?

Am I reading the Keto tuna salad recipe correctly that a serving for 1 is 1 ounce of canned tuna? Essentially one quarter of a small 4oz (drained weight) can?

Directions say you can replace the sour cream with mayonnaise but the ingredients list doesn't have sour cream, it has cream cheese.
Does the nutrition include the eggs and crisp bread?Reply: #22

The eggs are listed as a serving suggestion. If you need egg free recipes, you can use the other serving suggestion of the crispbread.

I get 1.8 g carb per serving with the leek. I replaced the leek with dried chives which knocked most of the carbs out of this recipe. Love it this way.

This recipe looks yummy. I apologize if this has already been asked but in the picture it looks like the tuna is being served on hard boiled eggs and seedy crackers. Is that correct?

The Seed Crackers will work but this specifically is the Sesame Crispbread.
