Nesting Eggs

Print

By

I created this yummy new way to eat your eggs. It gives you that craving for a breakfast pastry, but without all the flour and carbs! It’s all egg! This is great for my Type 1 Diabetes condition because it is all protein and no harmful processed carbs that would spike my blood sugar!

Further Food Nutritionist Commentary:

These eggs are a high-protein way to start your day. Eggs are rich sources of cholesterol and vitamin A. Cholesterol is an integral component of our cell membranes, and serves as an insulator for our nervous system. Vitamin A plays many roles in eye health & vision, as well as being a key player for our immune system. This recipe is also a great source of calcium, which you can find in most dairy products. Calcium is critical for strong bones & teeth. As this recipe does not contain flour, it is gluten-free. Keep in mind that carbohydrates are not inherently bad, just make sure to choose whole grains and complex carbohydrates like brown rice and sweet potatoes more often.

The addition of bacon and cheese make this recipe a meal I would recommend to only eat occasionally if you are an individual with heart disease or high blood pressure.

Ingredients

2 eggs

1/4 cup grated mixed cheddar cheese (any kind that you want)

1/4 cup chopped chives
1/4 cup crumbled bacon (cooked)
pepper (to taste)

Instructions

1. Separate eggs, putting egg whites in 1 large bowl and yolks in 2 separate bowls.

2. Whip whites until stiff peaks form, looking like whipped cream.
3. Carefully fold in the cheese, chives, and bacon.
4. Spoon into 2 mounds on to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Make a deep well in the center of each mound.
5. Bake mounds at 450 degrees for 3 minutes. Then take out of oven.
6. Then add 1 yolk to each mound’s well and season with pepper.
7. Bake back in the oven until the yolks are set and the egg whites are golden. Around 2-3 minutes. Leave in for longer if you do not want runny, sunny-side up styled eggs.
8. Serve and enjoy!
