Serve it with a side of fresh fruits or a simple salad for a complete and balanced breakfast.

PROS

Delicious and hearty, this classic dish is a perfect breakfast staple.
Packed with protein from the eggs and bacon, this pie will keep you full until lunchtime.

It is also very easy to make, using mostly store-bought ingredients.

CONS

This dish is not particularly healthy, due to the high fat content from the bacon and cheese.
You should enjoy this as an occasional treat instead of an everyday meal.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Eggs are a great source of protein and vitamins, including Vitamin D, which helps support healthy bones and teeth. Bacon, while high in fat and sodium, also provides protein and B vitamins. However, it is important to limit your intake of processed meats for overall health.
