2 strips bacon
24g
2 tbsp cheddar cheese
14g
1 tbsp chives
3g
1 tsp sea salt
1g
1 dash salt

Instructions:

1. Cook the Bacon:
- Place the strips of bacon in a skillet over medium heat.
- Cook until crispy, then remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess grease.
- Once cooled, crumble or chop the bacon into small pieces.
2. Prepare the Mug:
- Choose a large microwave-safe mug.
- Place the 2 tablespoons of butter in the mug and microwave for about 20-30 seconds, or until the butter is melted.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- Crack the egg into the mug with the melted butter.
- Beat the egg and butter together with a fork until well combined.
4. Add Dry Ingredients:
- Add the almond flour, baking powder, sea salt, and a dash of salt to the mug.
- Stir the mixture thoroughly with a fork until the ingredients are well combined and smooth.
5. Incorporate Additional Ingredients:
- Add the crumbled bacon, 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese, and 1 tablespoon of chopped chives to the mug.
- Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Cook the Mug Cake:
- Place the mug in the microwave.
- Cook on high for about 1.5 to 2 minutes. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the microwave.
- The mug cake is done when it has risen and is firm to the touch. Be careful not to overcook, as the cake can become dry.
7. Serve:
- Allow the mug cake to cool for a minute or two, as it will be very hot.
- You can eat the keto bacon & cheese mug cake directly from the mug or run a knife around the edges and transfer it to a plate.
- Optional: Garnish with extra chives or a sprinkle of cheese if desired.
