Ingredients:
– 2 large eggs
– 4 strips of bacon (approximately 120g)
– 1 ripe avocado (approximately 150g)
– 50g cherry tomatoes
– 30g fresh spinach leaves
– 10ml olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– A pinch of paprika
Necessary Tools:
– Non-stick frying pan
– Mixing bowl
– Fork for mashing
– Serving bowl
Ingredient Swaps and Additions:
Don’t have bacon? No problem! You could substitute with turkey bacon or even sausage for a different flavor profile. If you’re not a fan of spinach, try using kale or arugula. You can also sprinkle in some cheese for added richness or toss in other veggies like bell peppers or onions for extra nutrition.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Begin by heating a non-stick pan over medium heat and adding those delicious bacon strips. Let them sizzle until they reach that perfect crispy texture, about 5-7 minutes. Once done, remove them from the pan, keeping the bacon drippings for the next step.
2. Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them lightly. Pour the eggs into the same pan and stir occasionally, allowing them to scramble to a fluffy perfection, which should take about 3 minutes.
3. While the eggs are cooking, slice your avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a separate bowl. Mash it lightly with a fork—this adds great creaminess and makes your bowl even better!
4. Now for assembly! In a large serving bowl, layer your fresh spinach at the bottom, followed by the scrumptious scrambled eggs, creamy avocado, crispy bacon pieces, and halved cherry tomatoes.
5. To finish it off, drizzle a little olive oil on top, and season everything with salt, pepper, and that pinch of paprika.
6. Serve your bowl immediately and savor every bite of your wholesome breakfast!
Serving Suggestions:
This breakfast bowl can stand on its own, but pair it with a hot cup of coffee or tea, or a refreshing glass of keto-friendly smoothie for a complete meal. You could also enjoy it with a side of nuts for a little crunch!
Pro Tips for Success:
– Ensure your bacon is cooked to your liking—some prefer it chewy, while others enjoy it crispy.
– For perfectly scrambled eggs, remember to stir gently and avoid overcooking them; they should be soft and fluffy.
– Use ripe avocados for the best flavor and mashable texture.
Storing and Reheating:
If you happen to have leftovers (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm in a pan over low heat to retain the egg’s fluffiness.
FAQ Section:
– Can I use egg whites instead of whole eggs? Absolutely! Just remember to adjust the number based on your protein needs.
– What if I’m not on a keto diet? You can still enjoy this bowl as a nutritious breakfast option that’s low in carbs!
