At Nutrition by Angie, we believe nutrient-dense animal foods should form the foundation of every meal. This modern animal-based recipe celebrates two of nature's most nourishing foods—eggs and bacon—creating a satisfying breakfast that's both simple and incredibly delicious.

Benefits of the Main Ingredients

Eggs

Eggs are one of the most nutrient-dense foods available, providing complete protein together with choline, vitamin D, vitamin B12, selenium, iodine, healthy fats, and essential amino acids. They support brain health, muscle maintenance, hormone production, and long-lasting energy.

Smoked Bacon

Quality smoked bacon made without unnecessary additives provides complete protein, healthy fats, vitamin B12, zinc, selenium, phosphorus, and a rich smoky flavour that pairs perfectly with eggs.

Ghee

Ghee is a traditional cooking fat rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K2. Its high smoke point makes it ideal for baking while adding a rich, buttery flavour that complements the bacon and eggs.

Whether you're looking for an animal-based breakfast, bacon egg cups, keto breakfast recipe, high-protein meal prep, or a quick real-food breakfast, this recipe is sure to become a staple in your kitchen.

Autism-Friendly Benefits

These egg cups have a soft, familiar texture with crispy bacon around the outside, allowing different textures to be enjoyed separately if preferred. The eggs can be baked until just set or fully firm depending on individual sensory preferences. Eggs and bacon provide complete protein, healthy fats, choline, vitamin B12, selenium, zinc, and iron to support healthy growth, brain development, muscle maintenance, and sustained energy. As every autistic individual has unique sensory preferences, the cooking time and texture can easily be adjusted.

Tip

Enjoy these Bacon and Egg Cups on their own or serve with sliced avocado, smoked salmon, cottage cheese, or a dollop of full-fat Greek yogurt for an even more protein-rich meal. If you follow a more flexible modern animal-based approach, pair them with naturally fermented sourdough, roasted potatoes, or fresh seasonal fruit. They store well in the refrigerator for up to four days and freeze beautifully, making them perfect for batch cooking and busy mornings.
