(Serves 4)

This hearty and flavorful Avocado and Bacon Breakfast Bowl is the perfect low-carb, high-fat meal to start your day. It’s loaded with healthy fats, protein, and fiber, making it an ideal choice for those following a keto diet.

Ingredients:

• For the Breakfast Bowl:
  • 8 large eggs
  • 4 slices of bacon
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
  • Fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives) for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Bacon:
   • In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
   • Once crispy, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
   • Once cooled, chop the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
2. Cook the Eggs:
   • In the same skillet, remove most of the bacon grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan for flavor.
   • Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them until fully combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
   • Pour the eggs into the skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until they are just set and scrambled to your liking. You can add a little more butter or oil if necessary to prevent sticking.
   • Once cooked, remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.
3. Prepare the Avocados:
   • While the eggs are cooking, cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
   • Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and paprika for added flavor.
4. Assemble the Breakfast Bowls:
   • Divide the mashed avocado evenly among four bowls.
   • Top each bowl with a portion of scrambled eggs, followed by the chopped bacon.
   • Optionally, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and fresh herbs for extra flavor and color.
5. Serve:
   • Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious, filling breakfast bowl.
