Sally’s Egg & Bacon Muffins
Ingredients:
6 eggs
200g lean short cut bacon
1tsp garlic powder
1/4 red onion
6 cherry tomatos
1 large zucchini
1/4 cup of low fat milk

Method:

1. Pre-heat oven 180C
2. Dice and panfry bacon until browned.
3. Once cooked place on paper towel to cool.
4. Grate zucchini
5. Chop cherry tomatoes into 8 pieces each.
6. Beat eggs in a bowl and adding milk.
7. Add zucchini, tomatoes and cooled bacon to egg and mix.
8. Spray with some cooking oil a 12 pan non stick muffin tray.
9. Using a 1/4 measuring cup it will divide mixture up into the 12 muffin pans evenly, do not fill all the way to the top, as they will rise slightly when cooking.
10. Bake in oven for approx 25mins until risen and golden brown.
11. Remove from oven sit for 5 mins to cool, then remove from baking tray and allow to cool on cooling rack.

Notes:

I didn’t have any but you could also add some spinach to these to also get some iron.

My normal pre 5:2 recipe I would have added some tasty cheese or even feta. But as I am revamping my old recipes and I wanted to reduce the calories as much as possible to a very low calorie sustainable snack (not meal), I left the cheese out. This is because I still wanted to retain as many calories as I could for dinner.

These are so full of protein and great for a snack on the go. You can store them in an air tight container (love my zip lock bags or you can use Tupperware) in the fridge for about a week.

To reheat, just stick them in the microwave for about 30 seconds.

They taste so good alone, or you could also warm them up and toss them through a salad for something a bit more substantial. Or on a non fast day, have them in a sandwich with some cheese – they are finger licking good.

That is 3 recipes up this week… I have well exceeded 1 recipe a week challenge. I hope all of my support group friends who have requested that I post this – enjoy.

Once you have made your own comment below and let me know how they are, and if you added anything extra. I think even some cayenne pepper would be nice, or even sweet chilli might be nice added to the mixture.
