Breakfast: Ketogenic Classic Bacon and Eggs

Servings: 1, Serving Size: 1, Calories: 272, Total Fat: 22 g, Net Carbs: 1 g, Protein: 15 g

A new spin on an old classic, these eggs and bacon are complemented by grape tomatoes and fresh basil so you can incorporate a little extra flavor and nutrients into your diet. Enjoy it any day of the week as a breakfast staple. This recipe serves one person and can be eaten frequently as part of your ketogenic weekly diet plan. 

Ingredients: 

• 2 eggs
• 1-¼ oz. bacon
• 4 cherry tomatoes
• Fresh basil or a couple shakes of dried basil
• Salt and pepper

Steps: 

1. Fry the bacon on medium heat until crispy. Plate the bacon and set aside. Keep the bacon grease in the pan. 
2. Set the temperature back to medium. Crack both eggs into the bacon-greased pan or into a bowl or measuring cup first to prevent grease splatter.
3. Lightly salt and pepper the eggs. 
4. Cook the eggs to your liking. For sunny-side-up, cover the pan while they cook on one side until the top is cooked. For over-easy, flip the eggs after 2-3 minutes and cook for 2-3 minutes more. 
5. Cut each cherry tomato in half and add to the pan. Lightly salt and pepper the tomatoes and the flipped side of the eggs if needed. 
6. Carefully transfer the cooked eggs and then the cherry tomatoes onto the plate with the bacon.
7. Garnish with a bit of fresh basil or any leafy green you find complementary. 
8. Serve and enjoy!
