Prep
Cook
Total
Yield 4 Servings
Ingredients:
- 1 head broccoli
- 2 pasture-raised eggs
- Large pinch of salt
- 1 tsp of oregano
- ½ tsp of basil
- 1 tbsp. of grass-fed butter or ghee
- 1/2 cup of filtered water
- Raw grass-fed cheese, optional
Instructions:
Step #1: Pre-heat oven to 375° F.
Step #2: Remove some of the broccoli stem. Begin to chop the broccoli into chunks; depending on size broccoli head – you should hopefully get around 4 cups.
Step #3: Add the chopped broccoli to a food processor or high powered blender (I use blend tech) and pulse until the texture is similar to rice. Add spices and butter and Pulse till combined.
Step #4: In a bowl place pulsed broccoli mixture with your eggs and water. Mix until the dough forms.
Step #5: Spread dough out evenly over baking sheet– can make as thick or thin as you like. The thinner, the more cracker like it will come out. Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden, crispy on the edges and cooked through the middle.
Step #6: Remove the crust from the oven. And enjoy.

Dr Jockers Comments:
One of the biggest things I hear when people follow my nutrition plan is the desire for breads. This is really good and is much like a garlic bread alternative or a cheesy (if you use the cheese) Italian bread.
Broccoli is rich in powerful sulfur compound antioxidants such as sulfuraphane, phenyl isothiocyanates and indole-3 carbonyls. These help the body to detoxify bad estrogens and neutralize hazardous free radicals.
The oregano and basil are also loaded with anti-microbial and antioxidant compounds. They give it the rich Italian bread smell. You could also add garlic to this to improve the flavor and give it a richer Italian feel.
Grass-fed butter and pasture-raised eggs provide great fatty acids that are powerful for reducing inflammation and improving hormonal function. You will love this recipe!
How much water and when do I add butter and spices? Thanks!!
Use a 1/2 cup of water and yes put the butter in when you are putting in the spices. We are adding this to the recipe now. Thank you!
