Parmesan Eggs with Bacon and Swiss Chard
Parmesan Eggs are served with salty bacon and sautéed Swiss Chard for the perfect low carb breakfast recipe!
Ingredients
Parmesan Eggs (makes 8)
- 2 cups shredded parmesan cheese
- 8 large egg
Swiss Chard with Bacon
- 2 bunches Swiss Chard sliced and stems removed if desired
- 4 slices bacon chopped
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash the leaves, slice the leaves into thin strips that are about 1/2 inch think. Remove the tough center stems if desired.
- Heat a large, deep skillet to medium heat. Brown chopped bacon until crispy. Using a slotted spoon remove the crispy bacon and drain the bacon grease, reserving about 1 tablespoon. Add minced garlic, greens and sauté 4-5 minutes until the greens have wilted and reached your desired texture.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, add the cooked bacon. Set the greens aside in a covered dish to keep warm.
- Wipe the skillet clean and spray with cooking oil. Add 1/4-cup piles of shredded parmesan to the skillet and allow them to melt and set around the edges. Make sure to leave plenty of room between each pile as the eggs will run--You may only be able to fit 2-4 in the skillet at once.
- Carefully crack an egg directly over each pile of parmesan. Cover the skillet and cook 1-2 more minutes until the egg white has set.
- Very carefully slide from the pan and serve with the greens.
