The low carb bread in the fridge needed to be used up quickly, so I baked this for our work lunches. It’s a quick bake, tasty and portioned out nicely.
You don’t really need bread at all – just beaten eggs and next time I’d add some cheddar cheese as a topping. We had it topped with a squeeze of fresh garlic, olives, lettuce and some mustard.
You will need:
- 1 large roasting pan
- 1 pack of bacon
- 1 – 1 ¹/² dozen eggs
- 1 pack smooth cream cheese
- Ground pepper
- Ground salt
- Saffron threads (optional)
- 6 slices Low Carb bread (optional)
- 1 onion or 3 shallots
- Baby tomatoes
- Chilli flakes (optional)
- 1 cup strong grated cheddar

I baked it around 30 minutes at 350°F and ended with a 5 minute grill to finish for the browned top. It puffed up beautifully. Season it well once served. We sprinkled a bit of parmesan cheese on top and the olives with it were the perfect compliment. Don’t forget to pre-cook the bacon!
