Ingredients

  • 8 8 large egglarge eggs
  • 9 oz. 260 g bacon, in slices
  • cherry tomatoes (optional)
  • fresh thyme (optional)
This recipe has been added to the shopping list.

Instructions

  1. Fry the bacon in a pan over medium high heat until crispy. Put aside on a plate. Leave the rendered fat in the pan.
  2. Use the same pan to fry the eggs. Place it over medium heat and crack your eggs into the bacon grease. You can also crack them into a measuring cup and carefully pour into the pan to avoid splattering.
  3. Cook the eggs any way you like them. For sunny side up — leave the eggs to fry on one side and cover the pan with a lid to make sure the yolks cook too. For over-easy eggs — flip the eggs over after a few minutes and cook for another minute. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and fry them at the same time.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Is bacon keto?

If you’ve been asking —is bacon keto, we’re here to tell you, yes! Among other pork products, bacon is high in fat, making it the ideal candidate for a keto-friendly, low carb breakfast. Make sure that the bacon you choose does not have added sugars or additives. Organic bacon is a good choice if you can find it.

    May I suggest turkey bacon? I'm not a Muslim, but my understanding is that Muslims cannot eat anything with pork. Turkey bacon does not contain pork, so you should be able to. Look for a halaal approved stamp, and if you have a problem finding that in a regular grocery store, try an Arabic grocery store. There should be one somewhere near you, just look them up. Have a good day.

    I'm a LCHF beginner, I wonder if I eat egg every day, is it harmful for my health? Some researches show that egg contains a lot of protein & cholesterol, and we should eat 2-3 eggs/ week. Please give me an advice on this matter, tks

    It is true that the eggs contains a lot of cholesterol, however, it has never been proven that this cholesterol will enter in your blood. So, for now the researchers says that it is ok to eat as many as you like.

    Since 2012, I am gluten-free and embraced a LCHF diet/lifestyle and I am eating at least 4 eggs a day during breakfast... low-carb, moderate-protein and high-fat (meat including fats and pectin/inulin-riched veggies like cauliflower, cabbage) on lunch and dinner... so far my last lipid profile last Feb 2016 are within normal ranges...

    Yes, it's low carb :)

    But be sure to read the nutrition facts and check that the sausage doesn't have to much carbs.

    Make sure you are buying NITRATE-FREE bacon, folks! This website recommends bacon and other processed meats a lot, but if you are consuming that much nitrate, you are poisoning yourself. Even the World Health Organization states that no one should be consuming processed meats / nitrates as they are known to cause cancer.

    I have a blood disorder called hemochromotosis, where my blood stores too much iron. I am trying to adjust to this and was wondering if the keto diet would work. Doctors have been no help bc they are not taught about diet. They just want to poke an prod me as much as i allow. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
