This is very similar to my usual breakfast which consists of sauteed onions and mushrooms in olive oil (I don’t chop them very small) and then I set them on a plate with two over easy eggs on top. I love the way the mushrooms and onions soak up the yolk!!! YUMMMIES!

when do you add the bacon….
Luther Blissett
vegetable oil is definitely not paleo, use coconut oil.

I added some fresh rosemary to help use up some of the herbs I had on hand. Quite yummy!

This was yummy, however I’m also confused about the bacon. Crumble and add or serve on the side?

I recommend adding part of this recipe as a “prep” item perhaps the day before – I found it too time consuming to make in the morning from start to finish. Is this served cold? I note the directions say “chill until ready to serve.”
James Delong
Definitely a Prep item.
I made this yesterday evening along with Monday’s lunch of Paleo nicoise salad.
Took a little over an hour for both meals and I also busted out my nuwave oven to dehydrate some beef overnight for Monday’s snack. (I marinated the beef in apple cider for about 5 hours beforehand.)
This is my first week of using this site and I wanted to make sure I gave plenty of time to prep food for the next day. Food came out great and I had the breakfast served cold.

is extra virgin olive oil paleo?

This meal serves two people? Seems like alot of food? 4 pieces of bacon and 4 eggs a piece? Am I reading this right?

@lisaannhb29 – The language at the top of the recipe wasn’t totally clear, so I changed it. The recipe makes 4 servings – 2 breakfasts for 2 people because we often use this one on our meal plans with leftovers for the next day. Sorry for the confusion!

@ Neely..thnx for the followup!

Very yummy recipe. We’re not crazy about boiled eggs in our house so I just stirred the eggs into the bacon, mushrooms, and onions. It was great!

Any suggestions on substitutions for mushroom allergy?
Neely
@Wilforke – How about red bell peppers, cabbage, kale, shaved beets, or any other veggie you love?

I want some! I’m doing a school project on the paleo diet, any suggestions??

Would love to see bacon measured by weight as well. What size of bacon slices is standard? 10ct vs 20ct bacon would make two very different portions of bacon in this meal.
terri
how many eggs for 1 person 8 eggs seem like alot

terri – As is states at the top of the recipe, “Makes enough for 2 people for 2 breakfasts – 4 servings.”

I am pescetarian. Would subing some broccoli and/or spinich for the bacon be a good swap? Trying to make sound choices to match the nutritional value of meats in the recipes without swaping for all fish.
Neely Quinn
lithapest – Well, it would certainly fill up your plate, but it won’t come close to the nutritional profile of bacon. Maybe add more fat to the dish (coconut oil, avocado) and add some smoked salmon?
