Why this works

High-protein, energy-dense breakfast bake that is low in carbohydrate but higher in saturated fat and sodium due to bacon, cheese and added salt.

High-quality protein. Eggs, bacon and cheese provide around 31 g protein per serving, supporting satiety and muscle maintenance.

Vitamin C and carotenoids. The orange pepper adds vitamin C and antioxidant carotenoids, helping boost micronutrient content despite the rich ingredients.

Saturated fat and sodium are notable. Bacon, cheese and butter push saturated fat and sodium up, so this dish is best enjoyed in moderation, especially if you are watching cholesterol or blood pressure.

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C (Fan 160°C, 356°F, Gas Mark 4).
Fry the bacon in a little butter until it starts to crisp, then add the orange pepper and cook until just softened.
Spoon the bacon and pepper mixture into a lightly buttered baking dish.
Make small hollows in the mixture and crack in the eggs.
Sprinkle over the extra mature cheese and season lightly with salt and black pepper.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the egg whites are just set and the yolks are cooked to your liking.
Serve immediately.
