Why this works
Protein-rich and very filling, but high in fat, saturated fat and sodium, so best enjoyed occasionally rather than as an everyday lighter meal.
High-quality protein. Eggs, bacon and Greek yoghurt provide a substantial protein hit to support satiety and muscle maintenance.
Saturated fat and sodium. Bacon and cream cheese contribute notably to saturated fat and salt, which may be a concern for heart health if eaten often.
Some calcium and B vitamins. Greek yoghurt and eggs add calcium, riboflavin and vitamin B12, though the overall dish remains quite rich.
Method
- Boil the eggs for 9–10 minutes, then cool, peel and chop them.
- Cook the bacon until crisp, then chop it finely.
- Mix the Greek yoghurt and cream cheese in a bowl to make a creamy dressing.
- Stir in the chopped eggs, bacon and coleslaw, then season with salt and black pepper.
- Serve chilled in bowls or spoon into lettuce leaves if available.
