Egg & Bacon Cups




If you did a survey and asked what the typical American breakfast looked like, more often than not, it looked a lot like sunny side up eggs with good ol' bacon.  Whilst this is not my go-to breakfast option, I was intrigued when I came across this unique spin on the traditional bacon and eggs. Its easy and prep time is less than 30 minutes. Not to mention, you can make a bunch of these and store for quick high-protein snack.


What You Need:
6 strips bacon
6 eggs
1 slice American cheese
Black pepper to taste
Butter or cooking spray
Muffin tin

Steps:



Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
 Lightly grease muffin tin. You can use butter or cooking spray.
 Line each muffin cup with bacon. If its too long, just cut off the extra bit and use to line the bottom. 
Gently crack each egg to fill each bacon-lined cup. 
Cut cheese slice into six equal parts then place each piece on top of each egg. 
Season with black pepper or any herbs or seasonings you prefer.
Once oven is heated, pop the muffin tin inside and bake for 15 - 20 minutes (I like my eggs hard so I leave mine in for 20 minutes). 


  



  


Voila! Its time to eat!

Healthy (And Delish!) Pizza Recipe





Eating clean can be hard. I know this because I love food. Most times, I literally have to step away from the situation so that I don't overindulge. But food is meant to be enjoyed which means chicken and salad cannot and shouldn't be the only way to keep on your diet. Whilst I wouldn't recommend this recipe for someone who is looking to get lean in a short amount of time, it is a much healthier version to your store-bought or fast food option. If you'd like to try the recipe, keep scrolling :)!


INGREDIENTS


CRUST:

1/2 cup dry oats
2 eggs
1/4 tsp minced garlic
Thyme and ground black pepper to season

TOPPINGS:

1/2 cup RaguTomato Sauce (Tomato, Garlic & Onion)
1/2 cup chopped onions
3/4 cup chopped sweet peppers
1 cup chopped spinach
1 chicken breast, chopped
4 slices Great Value 2% Reduced Fat American Cheese

DIRECTIONS:


Preheat oven at 350°F. In a baking pan, mix all crust ingredients so that it covers the bottom of the pan. Place it in the oven for 15-20 mins or until its firm.


Chop veggies as much as you like. You can also swapped out or add other veggies that you love. You can also try other lean protein such as ground turkey or even tuna!


Once the crust is firm, remove from the oven. Spread Ragu sauce over the crust then layer with cheese slices. Once that's out of the way, then you can add your other veggie and meat toppings.













Next, pop it in the oven for another 15-20 minutes are until the crust is at a consistency you like (I like mine not too crispy). As soon as the time is up, it's time to dig in!


I will definitely be making this. Not only was it delish but it kept me for three hours until my next meal time. Not to mention, my husband love it too! Then again, he's not the picky type.


Tell me if you also tried this recipe or added any special ingredients!
