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

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.
