This recipe combines the classic flavors of bacon and eggs with the freshness of lettuce wraps, creating a nutritious and satisfying meal. Perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a hearty breakfast without the extra carbs!
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Place the bacon in a cold skillet and cook over medium heat, turning occasionally until crispy.
- Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool.
- Once cool enough to handle, crumble or chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the heavy whipping cream until well combined.
- Season with a dash of salt and black pepper.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Pour in the egg mixture and let it sit for a few seconds until it starts to set around the edges.
- Gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges towards the center.
- Cook until the eggs are softly scrambled and still slightly runny, then remove from the heat. The eggs will continue to cook from residual heat in the pan.
- Lay out the lettuce leaves on a clean work surface.
- Evenly distribute the scrambled eggs onto each lettuce leaf.
- Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the eggs.
- Divide the 2 tbsp of shredded cheddar cheese and the additional 2 oz of shredded cheddar cheese among the four lettuce wraps for added cheese goodness.
5. Serve:
- Fold or roll the lettuce leaves around the filling to create the "taco" shape.
- Serve immediately while warm.
Tips:
- Use crispy bacon for added texture and flavor. Cook it to your desired level of crispness before adding it to the lettuce wraps.
- Make sure to whisk the eggs thoroughly with the heavy whipping cream to achieve a fluffy and creamy texture.
- Season the eggs with a dash of salt and black pepper to enhance the flavors, but feel free to add any other favorite seasoning or herbs.
- Grate the cheddar cheese finely so it melts more evenly over the eggs, giving you a rich and cheesy experience in every bite.
- Choose large, sturdy lettuce leaves that can hold the filling without tearing. Romaine lettuce or butter lettuce works well for this recipe.
- You can add other toppings like diced tomatoes, avocado slices, or a dollop of salsa for extra flavor and nutrients.
