Baked Egg with Canadian Bacon, Tomato and Potatoes

4 Servings 25 minutes

A healthy way to start your morning with Canadian bacon in this baked egg dish. Serve with whole grain toast and juice.

Ingredients

  • 1 6-ounce package Canadian-style bacon, chopped
  • nonstick cooking spray, butter-flavored
  • 1 cup refrigerated red potato wedges, no-oil added, cubed
  • 1 small plum tomato, seeded and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
  • 4 large eggs
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 teaspoons nonfat half & half
  • 4 teaspoons Swiss cheese, or Gruyere or white cheddar cheese, finely shredded (optional)

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat inside of four 6-ounce ramekins or custard cups/ramekins with cooking spray; set aside.
  • Combine Canadian bacon, potatoes, tomato and chives in a medium bowl. Spoon mixture evenly in ramekins.
  • Break egg into each ramekin on top of the Canadian bacon mixture. Sprinkle with pepper. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of half-and-half over each egg. Place ramekins on baking sheet.
  • Bake in heated oven for 15-20 minutes or until egg whites are opaque and yolks have firm edges but soft in centers. Remove from oven.
  • If desired, sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon cheese. Serve immediately.

Note: For a Southwest twist, toss the Canadian bacon mixture with ½ teaspoon chili powder before spooning it into the ramekins.
