Incredible Egg… and Bacon

7 May

Treat your mom this Mother’s Day with a guilt free breakfast. I woke up this morning and created this plate: An enriched grain as the base, sautéed hearty greens, sliced goat’s milk gouda, and one runny egg to coat the whole dish.

Every now and then while eating I have an aha! moment. I literally paused my consumption, leapt to the burner, and cooked up a piece of bacon. Eating this eggcellent breakfast with out a slice of pork felt like eating cereal with out milk, publicly presenting myself as a bra-less wonder(Sue Ellen Mischke/Seinfeld anyone?), or eating a pie with out the crust. Although bacon tends to get a bad wrap, one slice of this uncured pork deliciousness won’t kill anyone. Additionally, you’ll get a protein boost and a salty satisfaction that will curb your hunger for hours. If you’re wondering if those sweet breakfast muffins or pancakes are healthier, I guarantee they aren’t. 

My aha! moment

Eggcellent  Breakfast – breakfast for mom 

  • 1/2 cup couscous + 1/2 cup water
  • 1 1/2 loose cups organic leafy greens – spinach and arugula
  • 3 slices goats milk gouda or preferred white cheese
  • 1 organic egg
  • 1 slice uncured bacon
In a small saucepan, heat the water. Once boiling add couscous, remove from heat, and cover for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saute pan, heat to medium and add one piece of bacon. Cook until crispy on both sides. Use paper towel to soak up excess grease. Cleanse pan. Add splash of water or olive oil. Saute greens until wilted and set aside. Keep stove top at medium and add another splash of oil or butter. Cook egg for about 2-3 minutes and flip.Turn off burner and let stand for 1 minute. Layer as pictured with bacon underneath egg.
