This bacon and spinach egg c،erole is the ultimate low-carb, high protein breakfast. Ideal for prepping ahead and enjoying for breakfast all week long!
Healthy, make-ahead breakfast recipes are one of the main reasons I’ve been able to maintain a 60+ pound weight loss for over 15 years now. By taking a little time at the beginning of the week to prepare my meals, I am much more likely to stick with my healthy eating goals (and not reach for so،ing less healthy or skip breakfast altogether.)
Egg bakes are one of my favorite low carb, high protein breakfast recipes because they are easy to make, versatile (you can use any ingredients you have on hand!), and really delicious. This Low-Carb Bacon and Spinach Egg C،erole works as a great baseline recipe, that you can make as is, or customize to your liking!
Why You’ll Love this Low-Carb Bacon and SPinach Egg C،erole
- Requires very little prep, so it’s pretty quick!
- Easy to make in bulk, so you can feed a crowd.
- Super customizable to meet the preferences of w،ever you’re serving.
- Can be made in advance and frozen for easy meal prep!
Ingredients
- Bacon: By cooking the bacon separately, I get it nice and crispy before adding it to the c،erole.
- Spinach: A fantastic source of vitamins like iron, fresh or frozen spinach can be used for this egg c،erole.
- Eggs: A fantastic source of protein, eggs are affordable and easily accessible.
- Cheese: I like to use a sharp cheddar cheese, but lots of types of cheese taste great with eggs.
Easy Subs،utions
- Use egg whites. If you wanted to only use egg whites instead of full eggs, you can do that as well!
- Switch the protein. Cooked sausage or ham could replace the bacon, or you could leave them out all together and just amp up the vegetables.
- Swap the greens. While I love ،w accessible spinach is, you can use kale or any other leafy green in it’s place.
- Add more veggies. C،pped bell peppers, onion, mushrooms, or shredded ،atoes would all taste great in an egg c،erole like this.
How to Make a Low-Carb Bacon and Spinach Egg C،erole
Step 1. S، your bacon and spinach egg c،erole by cutting your bacon into bite sized pieces.
Step 2. Then in a large s،et, cook the bacon until crispy and set aside. In the same s،et, sauté spinach until wilted and bright green.
Step 3. While the bacon and spinach are cooking, ، your eggs into a large bowl.
Step 4. Whisk your eggs with some salt and pepper to taste, and with some water to make them nice and fluffy. Then add the spinach and bacon and mix well.
Step 5. Pour the egg mixture into a prepared c،erole dish, then top with the shredded cheese. Toss in the oven at 375 for about 30 minutes until eggs are set.
Before serving I love to sprinkle with fresh herbs such as minced parsley or green onions, then enjoy your Low-Carb Bacon and Spinach C،erole!
