Bacon and Onion Breakfast Lasagna

Even though I love eating bacon for breakfast, I rarely put it in breakfast recipes. I always just eat it on the side. I’ve been missing out on the massive flavor boost from letting other ingredients cook in the smoky, salty bacon fat. As soon as I saw a version of this on CheapEasyLowCarb’s YouTube channel, I realized what I’d been missing. This breakfast lasagna / breakfast casserole / breakfast bake is seriously good and super easy to make. There’s cheesy eggy bacony oniony goodness in between two layers of sliced turkey, topped with thin slices of tomato that slowly roast in the oven. Make this for breakfast! Eat it with a side salad and glass of pink champagne for brunch. Put a slice between two slices of flaxseed toast or crumbled into a low-carb wrap. It’s a very versatile dish!

You’ll need:

• 16 oz thin-sliced turkey, divided
• 5 strips of bacon, chopped
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 5 eggs
• 1 cup shredded colby jack cheese
• 4 slices american cheese
• 1 tomato, sliced thin
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp butter
• Salt and Pepper
• Nonstick spray

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Chop the bacon and onion and set aside your eggs.

Add the bacon and onions to a nonstick skillet and sauté on medium-high heat until cooked through, approximately 10 minutes. Please make sure to use a nonstick skillet for this so that you are not scrubbing your skillet all night later to get it clean. Don’t be a hero. Use the nonstick skillet.

Crack the eggs into the skillet with the bacon and toss in the butter.

Stir until the eggs are fully scrambled, approximately 3 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Spray a baking dish with nonstick spray.

Layer 8 ounces of sliced turkey onto the bottom of the baking dish.

Next layer 4 slices of american cheese.

Top with the scrambled egg mixture.

Sprinkle with shredded colby cheese.

Top with the remaining 8 ounces of sliced turkey.

Thinly slice a tomato.

Place the tomato slices on top of the turkey and drizzle with olive oil.

Bake for 30 minutes.

Slice and serve.

It’s shown here on a plate, but you can actually pick this up and eat it like a sandwich.
