Recipe: Healthy Egg + Canadian Bacon Casserole–YUM!

Though March may bring warmer temperatures, we are not out of the winter woods yet, and nothing is more comforting on a cool morning than a nice, hot (and healthy!) eggy breakfast.  Spice up the usual scrambled eggs with this new and improved egg + Canadian bacon casserole that won’t thwart your healthy eating regimen.

Healthier than traditional bacon, Canadian bacon has less than 1g of fat and packs 6g of protein per serving (2 slices).  We also implemented a few key substitutes to make it more fat loss friendly such as coconut creamer and almond cheese, which can be found at any natural grocery store.

Preheat 350 degrees F
Use 9 x 12 in pan, sprayed with non-stick cooking spray

Ingredients:

1 package Canadian bacon (about 8 slices)
1 white onion
9 whole eggs + 3 egg whites
Coconut creamer (or whole milk)
Almond Cheese in cheddar (or regular cheddar cheese)
Salt + pepper to taste

  • Sautee 1 package Canadian bacon (cut up into small cubes) with 1 whole white onion, finely chopped
  • Mix 9 whole eggs and 3 more egg whites in a large bowl
  • Whisk in 1 cup coconut creamer
  • Add 8 oz grated cheddar almond cheese to mixture + stir
  • Add onion/bacon mixture + stir
  • Add salt + pepper to taste

Pour into greased 9 x 12 pan
Place in oven, covered with foil, for 60 min
Take out, take foil off, add sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top (optional)
Turn oven to 325 degrees, and cook for another 40 minutes
Enjoy!
