Turkey Bacon and Egg Cups
Turkey Bacon and Egg Cups are a protein-packed and convenient option for individuals following an Indian weight loss diet:
Turkey bacon offers a leaner alternative to traditional pork bacon, reducing the overall fat content.
Eggs provide high-quality protein and essential nutrients, supporting muscle maintenance and satiety.
The egg cups are baked, eliminating the need for additional cooking oils.
INGREDIENTS
- 6 slices turkey bacon
- 6 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives), for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or olive oil.
Carefully line each muffin cup with a slice of turkey bacon, forming a cup shape.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake the turkey bacon cups for about 5 minutes. This will partially cook the bacon.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and carefully crack an egg into each turkey bacon cup.
Season each egg with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the muffin tin back in the oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.
Remove the turkey bacon and egg cups from the oven.
Use a spoon to gently lift the cups from the muffin tin and transfer them to a serving plate.
Garnish with chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives.
Serve the Turkey Bacon and Egg Cups warm as a protein-rich breakfast or snack.
TIPS
Feel free to add chopped vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or tomatoes to the egg cups for extra flavor and nutrients.
Customize the seasoning by adding herbs and spices of your choice.
Be mindful of portion sizes to control your calorie intake, especially if you’re aiming to lose weight.
Ensure that the egg yolks are slightly runny if you prefer a softer texture.
Enjoy the Turkey Bacon and Egg Cups as a protein-rich and portable breakfast or snack option.
