Keto Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus and Eggs

SERVES 2
PREP TIME: 10 MINUTES ■ COOK TIME: 20 MINUTES ■ TOTAL TIME: 30 MINUTES

This sumptuous breakfast is my personal go-to for a lazy Saturday morning when I’m craving something out of the ordinary. Asparagus wrapped in bacon accompanies runny fried eggs to create a unique combination in this dish. I like to enjoy it with a dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche for additional fat.

INGREDIENTS

4 bacon slices
12 asparagus spears, divided
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1⁄2 teaspoon onion powder
1⁄2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 tablespoon butter
4 eggs

PREPARE

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Wrap one bacon slice around each bundle of three asparagus spears. Place each bundle on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. Sprinkle the garlic, onion powder, ¼ teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of pepper over the bundles.
4. Place the tray in the preheated oven. Bake for 12 minutes, or until the bacon crisps.
5. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Crack the eggs in pairs into the skillet. Try to keep the yolks intact.
6. Cook the eggs to your desired doneness, about 5 minutes for a runny egg. Season with the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt and the remaining pepper.
7. Remove the asparagus from the oven.
8. Remove the eggs from the skillet, placing two eggs atop two bundles of asparagus per serving.
