A perfect breakfast meal prep idea where you can prep your 3 ingredients once, and have low carb bacon & eggers all week!
This is almost too simple to even be a recipe, but given the amount of hard boiled eggs and cheese I am eating, I thought it would be fun to spice it up a bit with these little Low Carb Bacon & Eggers. Not really a recipe, more like breakfast inspiration!
I don't follow any particular low carb diet, I just find hardboiled eggs and cheese such a simple breakfast, I have been eating this combo for months and months. I have a whole post about how I use 3 main things and create many combinations of breakfast boxes. That post is here.
For meal prep, on Sunday, I make my hard boiled eggs ( I do them in the Instant Pot using this method), make my bacon for the week ( I do oven bacon using this method), and I cut up my cheddar and store in an air tight container. When I go to eat these, I assemble them. Easy Peasy!
You can get creative using different types of cheese and if you really want you can add in sauces like dijon mustard... or dare I even say mayo ( hi, keto peeps!).
I prefer no sauce on my low carb bacon & eggers, but you do you, friends!

How brilliant and easy! Thanks for the idea!
Tracy says
Great and easy concept! How do you store them when making extra for the week? Or you assemble them at the time you want one.
Steph says
I prep the ingredients once, but assemble as I eat them!
Julie says
Do you eat 3 every morning?
Steph says
No, I don't.
Sioux says

Dorothy Thomas says

Steph says
I don't follow a keto diet, so I am not the one to answer that question, sorry!
Monika says
These look like a great idea! Have you ever frozen them? I usually make breakfast sandwiches and freese them, but these might be something I want to try to add something new to my breakfast.
Steph says
I wouldn't freeze hard boiled eggs. I freeze scrambled eggs, but I don't think HBEs would hold up the same.
Linda says
Just wanted to say I tried your recipe for the hard boiled eggs in the I P and it was right on, turned out perfect following your directions! Thanks
Katherine says
If you want to make them up ahead and put them in the frig. I make them up and cut the bottom of the bottom egg flat so that they sit on a plate without tipping over.
Steph says
Make them flat!!!! so smart!!! Thanks for that tip.
Susie says
These little gems are great, I add a little Mayo or Miracle Whip on the egg side.
Alison says
This looks amazing! When you prep your bacon, I noticed it’s in a glass jar. Do you store that jar in the fridge or just at room temp?
Steph says
I store it all in the fridge!
Patty says
How many can you eat in the morning?
Steph says
However many you like!
Ashley says
I don’t understand how 3 of these is only 197 calories. A standard hard boiled egg is 70 calories alone so that’s already 210 calories just in eggs, not to mention the bacon and cheese. Could you elaborate on the calorie breakdown?
RJK says
I think the nutrition info is for one
JoHannah E. Boots says
I was thinking turn them into a deviled egg yolk and then add the bacon and cheese serve ..place in oven for a few moments to melt the cheese
Rick says
What is the sodium on this
Steph says
Hi Rick,
It would completely depend on the bacon and cheese you choose to use.
Lacey says
Is it 197 cal for all 3 or per egg sandwich?
