In clinic, I am constantly educating patients about the importance of consuming enough protein in a day and its role in, sleep, digestion, immunity, cardiovascular health + weight management, mood regulation, cognitive function, and energy. This recipe is a great way to easily boost your protein intake with eggs, nitrate free bacon and feta, while allowing for a high fibre meal to easily digest and break down the protein constituents.

For my patients with anyone of these: PCOS, athletic goals, insulin sensative, peri-meopsaual, neurodivergence, highly stressed, endometriosis, gut dysfunction, and my lovely wise aging population; this one is for you! 

Ingredients

  • 12 eggs (yes free range, pasture-raised, organic are best but what you have is fine also)
  • 1 zucchini, finely shredded
  • 10-15 cherry tomatoes, finely chopped
  • 2 handfuls of rocket, roughly chopped
  • 1 leek, finely chopped
  • small handful for parsley, finely chopped
  • small handful of oregano leaves, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon of sea salt and pepper
  • Approximately 150g of goats cheese
  • 2-3 short cut bacon rashers- chopped into 1cm cubed pieces

Directions

  1. Pre-heat the oven at 160 degrees on fan force.
  2. On a hot pan, sear the bacon to add flavour.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, crack 12 eggs and whisk to combine.
  4. Add zucchini, tomatoes, leek, rocket, parsley, oregano, bacon, salt and pepper and mix with a spactular.
  5. In a baking dish lined with baking paper, pour the egg mixture in, crumbling 5-6 blocks of persian feta evenly over the mixture. Mix lightly with spactular to combine.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden.
  7. Cut pieces to desired portion size and enjoy!
