Yields 8 servings
3 slices gluten-free or sprouted grain bread, torn into 1-in pieces
6 eggs
1 cup milk (flax, coconut, almond or goat)
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp nutmeg
4 Tbsp grass-fed butter
3 large sage leaves

- Whisk eggs, milk and spices together until some small bubbles form on surface.
- Heat a skillet on medium heat. Melt 3 Tbsp of butter and drop in sage leaves. Allow butter to bubble, not burn.
- Drop apple wedges in and stir, cooking for 2 to 3 minutes until apples are slightly soft. Remove apple mixture from heat. Remove sage leaves.
