Ingredients

  • 4 oz. 110 g tuna in olive oil
  • 8 tablespoons 120 ml mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons 2 tablespoons crème fraîche
  • 1 tablespoon 1 tablespoon capers
  • ½ ½ leek, finely choppedleeks, finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon ½ teaspoon chili flakes
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

Instructions are for 4 servings. Please modify as needed.

  1. Let the tuna drain.
  2. Mix together all ingredients, season with salt and pepper or chili flakes. You're all set!
  3. Serve with boiled eggs and LCHF sesame crispbread.

Tip!

You can chop the eggs directly into the salad and add some hot chili sauce. You can also replace the sour cream with mayonnaise for a dairy-free option, or replace capers with olives or gherkins. Try it out with our homemade mayo—simply divine!

Another LCHF breakfast idea from Fanny Lindkvist, who runs a popular Swedish blog and the Instagram account LessCarbs.

    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?
