Not another boring breakfast...

Before I tell you what this Breakfast Beauty consists of let me give you some background onto why I stumbled across this angelic beauty.
At the beginning of the year I made a resolution to get healthier and stay fit. Everywhere I turned I found that my best breakfast and lunch companion- Bread was not voted most likely to help you lose weight in high school. So I vowed that instead of cutting it out all together (I mean I'm only human) I would cut back and eat it only once a week.
Here I am two months into 2018 and I'm sticking to my resolution. However, finding alternatives for breakfast is not that easy. I'm not a fan of cereal (I don't like milk weird I know) , a yoghurt doesn't do it for me six days a week and a full English is often time consuming and can leave me feeling bloated.
So it was last Sunday when I stumbled across my Breakfast 'Taco'. My stomach was craving turkey bacon and scrambled eggs. But, not being that much of a multitasker (sorry girls letting the side down) whilst I whisking my eggs my turkey bacon crisped up a little too much for my taste and formed a sort of taco shell. Not really liking burnt food (I need to inform you I normally like my food anaemic so burnt for me is slightly black around the edges) I turned lemons into lemonade and scooped my scrambled eggs into the taco shell and chowed down on my culinary dreams.
Recipe
3 Rashers of Turkey Bacon
2 Meduim Eggs
2 Knobs of Butter
Salt and Pepper for seasoning.
For The Brilliant Bacon Shells...
Preheat grill to 220ºc
Place three rashers of turkey bacon onto a baking tray and place in the grill.
Remove once bacon has started to curl up at the edges.
My Mothers Superb Scrambled Eggs...
Melt the butter in the pan.
Whilst the butter is melting crack two eggs into a dish add as much salt and pepper as desired and whisk until the eggs and whites have blended.
Once the butter has melted pour the egg mixture into the pan and whisk until the mixture resembles scrambled eggs.
Place the bacon shells on a plate and scoop the scrambled eggs into the centre and enjoy.
The Verdict
Not to blow my own trumpet but toot toot 🎺. I am impressed with this dish, it is my second time making it (the first time I didn't take any pictures, regretted straight away) and it is incredibly easy to make. I feel like after eating this dish I started my day of perfectly. I had my protein hit straight away (from the scrambled eggs and the turkey bacon) which my body applauded me for and it still felt like a naughty treat which satisfied my need to rebel against my healthy diet. This dish is definitely instaworthy (if you do make it send me a picture on instagram- samanthalouiselomax) Bonus is that there is not much cleaning up after it! But is it a weekday or weekend breakfast treat? Although it is easy to make and assemble it's not a quick breakfast. If I'm working I wouldn't make it during the week (I love my bed and my makeup more than breakfast) but if you are willing to get up and make a bacon taco than go for it you will not regret it. I will definitely be making it on the weekend and next time I would experiment with different fillings- next time I might try crushed avocado, chilli and radish.
Score- 9/10
