Comfort Food: Bacon-Cheddar Spinach Egg Skillet (Low-Carb)

Ingredients

• 10 slices bacon
• 10 eggs
• 1/4 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
• 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 4 cups spinach
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1/2 tsp salt(optional)
• 1/4 tsp black pepper(optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Cook bacon in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon to a plate; leave about 1–2 tbsp drippings in the pan.

2. 2

   Chop bacon. Reduce heat to low.

3. 3

   Whisk eggs with cream, salt, and pepper. Add butter to the skillet and let it foam slightly.

4. 4

   Pour in eggs and stir slowly with a spatula, scraping the bottom and sides, until they begin to thicken but are still slightly soft.

5. 5

   Add cheddar and chopped bacon; stir until cheese melts and eggs are just set (do not overcook).

6. 6

   Fold in spinach (it will wilt from residual heat). Turn off heat and cover for 1 minute to finish gently.

7. 7

   Serve immediately.
