Bacon-Tomato Frittatas: A Low-Carb and Low Calorie Breakfast Choice
Serves 4
One serving yields 164 calories, 11.7 grams fat, 5.3 grams carbs, and 10.2 grams protein
Ingredients
- 4 ripe tomatoes
- 2 pieces of bacon, cooked and diced
- 4 eggs (Note: For an even healthier option, use egg whites or Egg Beaters to reduce the number of calories in the recipe without changing the protein content or the taste.)
- 1 tablespoon ghee or clarified butter (Note: ghee sounds "exotic," but Walmart sells it, as do other retail outlets. If you search the Internet, you'll find posts that show easy ways to prepare homemade ghee, which is a better alternative.)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425º F.
- Cut the tops of the tomatoes off.
- Using a paring knife, spoon, or fork, completely scoop out the insides of each tomato.
- Evenly divide the diced bacon between the four tomatoes.
- Scramble the four eggs separately, then pour them one by one into each empty tomato, right on top of the diced bacon.
- Divide the ghee evenly between the four uncooked eggs, topping each egg-filled tomato.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper over the tomatoes to taste.
- Place the tomatoes in a Pyrex baking dish and bake for 40 or 50 minutes, until the eggs are cooked through.
- Serve and enjoy while hot.
