Equipment Needed

    Ingredients

    • 3 eggs
    • 1 cup egg whites
    • 4 strips turkey bacon
    • 30 g (1/2 cup) shredded cheddar cheese
    • 2 cups of add-in’s

    Possible add-in’s:

    • Bell pepper
    • Onions
    • Feta cheese
    • Jalapeno
    • Meat: chicken, ham, chorizo, etc.

    Instructions

    Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 

    Step 2

    Mix together 3 eggs + 1 cup egg white.

    Step 3

    Prepare cheddar cheese, if you haven’t bought shredded cheese, by finely shredding it. Set aside.

    Step 4

    Prepare turkey bacon by taking 4 slices of turkey bacon and cover with paper towel – top and bottom – and put in microwave for 1 minute. Flip and cook for another 1 minute. Cut into small 1 cm squares (cut down the length/middle of a strip then cut in 1 cm portions width) and set aside.

    Step 5

    Turn your stove top to medium heat, spray a skillet/frying pan and add egg mixture to it.

    Step 6

    Add in 2 cups of add-ins and let egg mixture cook for ~ 4 minutes.

    Step 7

    Take cut up turkey bacon and sprinkle on top of the eggs. Cook for another 4 minutes.

    Step 8

    When the eggs are starting to set (outer-edge of the eggs on the skillet should look cooked and if you shake the pan a little any egg mixture in the middle shouldn’t shake like liquid) sprinkle the cheese on top and put in oven for 10 minutes – or until the eggs are cooked throughout (toothpick should go in and come out clean).

    Step 9

    Take out of the oven and let sit for ~ 10 minutes to cool down.

    Step 10

    Serve, or package for later.

    Notes About Recipe

    If you are looking for to boost the calories with this recipe, make some – or all – of the following ingredient alterations:

    • Decrease the amount of egg whites, either to 1/2 cup or none at all, and increase the amount of whole eggs. As a good rule of thumb: for every 1/4 egg whites you remove from this recipe, replace with 2 eggs.
    • Increase amount of cheese from 30 g to 90 g cheese.
    • Use pork bacon.
    • Use 8 pieces of bacon. Use an additional 4 pieces of bacon, but use it as part of the original add-in’s portion and then sprinkle the other 4 pieces
