The Benefits of Cultured Dairy for Better Health:
Research continues to show the importance of eating healthy foods, including cultured dairy such as kefir, for better gut health, a strong immune system, and to support the microbiome. Fermented foods like kefir hold important value in this line of research due to the link between the gut-brain axis and overall health.
Specifically, kefir has been shown to help diversify the microbiome, support the digestive system, reduce inflammation, support healthier blood sugar levels, and improve satiety since the bioavailable protein it contains triggers the release of GLP-1. Lifeway Kefir also contains a variety of nutrients that are vital for healthy bones and overall health including vitamins D3, K, and B12 along with calcium and potassium. Along with our kefir, we also offer our creamy Lifeway Farmer Cheese, a high protein cheese made with live and active cultures to support a healthy microbiome that’s easy to spread and contains no added salt or sugar.
Prep Time: 30 mins Servings: 4Ingredients
- 1 tbsp. Salted Kefir Butter
- 3/4 cup Farmer Cheese
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 2 tbsp. chili oil
- 2 tbsp. chopped green onions
- 1 tsp. red pepper flakes
- Toasted bread for serving
Directions
- Place a medium-sized skillet on the stovetop and bring to medium heat. Add the Lifeway Salted Kefir Butter and let it melt.
- Add the Lifeway Farmer Cheese in the pan, and spread it into a thin, even layer. Once it starts to bubble, crack the eggs directly on top. Cover the pan with the lid and cook on low heat until the moisture from the farmer cheese has absorbed and the edges start to turn crispy; the egg whites should be fully set at this point.
- Remove the lid and turn off the heat. Then top with salt, pepper, chili oil, green onions, and red pepper flakes. Serve with toasted bread and enjoy!
