Preparation
Preheat the oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease two muffin pan holes with melted butter (1 Tbsp).
Prepare the prosciutto cups: Line the greased muffin cups with prosciutto slices (3), pressing them gently into the cups to form a shell.
Mix the filling: In a small bowl, whisk beaten eggs (2) with crumbled feta (¼ cup), chopped baby spinach (a handful), chopped sun-dried tomatoes (1 Tbsp), and dried oregano (½ tsp). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble and bake: Pour the mixture evenly into the prosciutto-lined muffin cups. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and slightly golden on top.
Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, then garnish with fresh basil (1 Tbsp) before serving.
Cytoplasmic lipid droplets (LDs) have been found to be present in many malignant cancers, yet there is debate as to their creation and purpose. Some argue they are stored fuel deposits for oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos), while others think they’re a byproduct of inefficient OxPhos. Seyried’s latest paper argues the later, pointing to a long list of citations that support this claim.
In this article, BSI’s Bob Kaplan summarizes the MMT and explains how LD accumulation provides more support for the theory.
COMMENTS
That being said, another great article in support of Dr. Seyfried and his stuff. Thank you guys for keeping our attention in the right direction!
